32:1  A psalm by David; a maskil. Blessed is the person whose disobedience is forgiven and whose sin is pardoned.
32:2  Blessed is the person whom Yahweh no longer accuses of sin and who has no deceitful thoughts.
32:3  When I kept silent about my sins, my bones began to weaken because of my groaning all day long.
32:4  Day and night your hand laid heavily on me. My strength shriveled in the summer heat. Selah
32:5  I made my sins known to you, and I did not cover up my guilt. I decided to confess them to you, O Yahweh. Then you forgave all my sins. Selah
32:6  For this reason let all godly people pray to you when you may be found. Then raging floodwater will not reach them.
32:7  You are my hiding place. You protect me from trouble. You surround me with joyous songs of salvation. Selah
32:8  The Lord says, “I will instruct you. I will teach you the way that you should go. I will advise you as my eyes watch over you.
32:9  Don’t be stubborn like a horse or mule. They need a bit and bridle in their mouth to restrain them, or they will not come near you.”
32:10  Many heartaches await wicked people, but mercy surrounds those who trust Yahweh.
32:11  Be glad and find joy in Yahweh, you righteous people. Sing with joy, all whose motives are decent.
