Psalm 32: Blessed Is He Whose Transgression Is Forgiven Poem by King David of Israel

1 Blessed is he
whose transgression is forgiven,
whose sin is covered.

2 Blessed is the man
unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity,
and in whose spirit there is no guile.

3 When I kept silence,
my bones waxed old
through my roaring all the day long.

4 For day and night
thy hand was heavy upon me:
my moisture is turned
into the drought of summer. Selah.

5 I acknowledge my sin unto thee,
and mine iniquity have I not hid.
I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD;
and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee
in a time when thou mayest be found:
surely in the floods of great waters
they shall not come nigh unto him.

7 Thou art my hiding place;
thou shalt preserve me from trouble;
thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

8 I will instruct thee and teach thee
in the way which thou shalt go:
I will guide thee with mine eye.

9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule,
which have no understanding:
whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle,
lest they come near unto thee.

10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked:
but he that trusteth in the LORD,
mercy shall compass him about.

11 Be glad in the LORD,
and rejoice, ye righteous:
and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
