32:1  A Psalm of David. A Contemplative Maskil. Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
32:2  Blessed is the man against whom the Lord does not count iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
32:3  When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
32:4  For day and night Your hand was heavy on me; my strength was changed into the drought of summer. Selah
32:5  I acknowledged my sin to You, and my iniquity I did not conceal. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” and You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah
32:6  For this cause everyone who is godly will pray to You in a time when You may be found; surely in the floods of great waters they will not reach him.
32:7  You are my hiding place; You will preserve me from trouble; You will surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah
32:8  I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye on you.
32:9  Do not be as the horse or as the mule that are without understanding, that must be restrained with bit and bridle, or they will not come near you.
32:10  Many sorrows come to the wicked, but lovingkindness will surround the man who trusts in the Lord.
32:11  Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, you righteous one; and shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart!
