Psalm 32: Blest is the man whose transgression is forgiven

Blest is the man whose transgression is forgiven. 

Blest is the man whose sin is covered. 

Blest is the man to whom the LORD imputes no iniquity, 

And in whose spirit there is no deceit. 

When I did not declare my sin, my body wasted away;  

Through my groaning all the day long. 

Through day and night your hand was heavy upon me; 

My strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. 

I acknowledged my sin and I did not hide my iniquity; 

I said, "I’ll confess my transgressions to the LORD"; 

Then you did forgive the guilt of my sin; 

Then you did forgive the guilt of my sin.

Therefore let every one who is godly offer prayer to you; 

At a time of distress, rushing waters, they will not reach him. 

For you are my hiding place and preserve me from trouble; 

And you encompass me with your deliverance. 

I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; 

I will counsel you with my eye upon you. 

Don’t be like a horse or a mule without understanding, 

Which must be curbed by bit and bridle else it won’t keep with you. 

Bridge

Many are the wicked’s pangs; 

But love surrounds him who trusts in the LORD. 

Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, O you righteous, 

And shout for joy, all you upright in heart.

And shout for joy, all you upright in heart.
