32:1  Of David. A maskil. Blessed is the one whose offense is forgiven, whose sin is erased.
32:2  Blessed is the one to whom the Lord charges no guilt and in whose spirit there is no guile.
32:3  As long as I remained silent, my body wasted away as the result of my groaning throughout the day.
32:4  For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength withered steadily as though consumed by the summer heat. Selah
32:5  Then I acknowledged my sin to you, and I made no attempt to conceal my guilt. I said, “I will confess my offenses to the Lord,” and you removed the guilt of my sin. Selah
32:6  Therefore, let everyone who is faithful pray to you where you may be found. Even if great floods threaten, they will never reach him.
32:7  You are a place of refuge for me; you preserve me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah
32:8  I will instruct you and guide you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and keep my eyes upon you.
32:9  Do not behave without understanding like a horse or a mule; if its temper is not curbed with bit and bridle, it will not come near you.
32:10  The wicked has a multitude of troubles, but the man who trusts in the Lord is surrounded by kindness.
32:11  Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous; shout for joy, all you upright of heart.
