32:1  Of David. A Maskil. How joyful is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered!
32:2  How joyful is a person whom the Lord does not charge with iniquity and in whose spirit is no deceit!
32:3  When I kept silent, my bones became brittle from my groaning all day long.
32:4  For day and night your hand was heavy on me; my strength was drained as in the summer’s heat.Selah
32:5  Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not conceal my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” and you forgave the guilt of my sin.Selah
32:6  Therefore let everyone who is faithful pray to you immediately. When great floodwaters come, they will not reach him.
32:7  You are my hiding place; you protect me from trouble. You surround me with joyful shouts of deliverance.Selah
32:8  I will instruct you and show you the way to go; with my eye on you, I will give counsel.
32:9  Do not be like a horse or mule, without understanding, that must be controlled with bit and bridle or else it will not come near you.
32:10  Many pains come to the wicked, but the one who trusts in the Lord will have faithful love surrounding him.
32:11  Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous ones; shout for joy, all you upright in heart.
