| Chapter 32 |
1 |
<Of David. Maschil.> Happy is he who has forgiveness for his wrongdoing, and whose sin is covered. |
2 |
Happy is the man in whom the Lord sees no evil, and in whose spirit there is no deceit. |
3 |
When I kept my mouth shut, my bones were wasted, because of my crying all through the day. |
4 |
For the weight of your hand was on me day and night; my body became dry like the earth in summer. (Selah.) |
5 |
I made my wrongdoing clear to you, and did not keep back my sin. I said, I will put it all before the Lord; and you took away my wrongdoing and my sin. (Selah.) |
6 |
For this cause let every saint make his prayer to you at a time when you are near: then the overflowing of the great waters will not overtake him. |
7 |
You are my safe and secret place; you will keep me from trouble; you will put songs of salvation on the lips of those who are round me. (Selah.) |
8 |
I will give you knowledge, teaching you the way to go; my eye will be your guide. |
9 |
Do not be like the horse or the ass, without sense; ... |
10 |
The sinner will be full of trouble; but mercy will be round the man who has faith in the Lord. |
11 |
Be glad in the Lord with joy, you upright men; give cries of joy, all you whose hearts are true. |
