Chapter 32 - The Blessed Lot of the Pious

1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.1

2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.

4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me:

my moisture is turned into the drought of summer.

Selah.

5 I acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said,

I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD;

and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin.

Selah.

6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found:

surely in the floods (of great waters) they shall not come nigh unto him.

7 Thou art my hiding place;

thou shalt preserve me from trouble;

thou shalt compass me about with songs (of deliverance).

Selah.

8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go:

I will guide thee with mine eye.

9 Be ye not [as] the horse, or [as] the mule, which have no understanding:

whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked:

but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.

11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous:

and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
