32:1  Of David. A Maskil. Happy are those whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
32:2  Happy are those to whom the Lord imputes no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
32:3  While I kept silence, my body wasted away through my groaning all day long.
32:4  For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer.Selah
32:5  Then I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not hide 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 all who are faithful offer prayer to you; at a time of distress, the rush of mighty waters shall not reach them.
32:7  You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with glad cries of deliverance.Selah
32:8  I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.
32:9  Do not be like a horse or a mule, without understanding, whose temper must be curbed with bit and bridle, else it will not stay near you.
32:10  Many are the torments of the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds those who trust in the Lord.
32:11  Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart.
