Psalm 32

26 Psalms 32
¹Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven and whose sin is blotted out.
²Blessed is the man to whom Yahvah has not reckoned his iniquity, and in whose heart there is no guile.

³Because I suffered in silence all the day long, my bones waxed old during my deep slumber.
⁴For day and night, your hand was heavy on me; intense pain developed in my heart, great enough to kill me.

⁵I have acknowledged my sin to you, and my iniquity I have not hidden from you. I said, I will confess my faults to Yahvah; and you forgave all of my sins.

⁶For this, let everyone who is chosen, pray to you at an appointed time; surely even the floods of great waters will not come near him.
⁷You are my refuge; you will protect me from my enemies; you will circle around me with glory and salvation.

⁸I have made you understand and have led you on the way which you will take; I will follow you with my eyes.
⁹Do not be as the horse or as the mule, which have no understanding, which must be subdued with bit and bridle from their youth; no one goes near them.

¹⁰The wicked has many sorrows; but he that trusts in Yahvah, mercy will surround him.
¹¹Be glad in Yahvah and rejoice, you righteous; and praise him, all you who are upright in heart.
