AB - Psalms - 32

32:1  Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, and who sins are covered.

32:2  Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin, and in whose mouth there is no guile.

32:3  Because I kept silence, my bones waxed old, from my crying all the day.

32:4  For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; I became thoroughly miserable while a thorn was fastened in me. Pause.

32:5  I acknowledged my sin, and hid not my iniquity; I said, I will confess my iniquity to the Lord; and You forgave the ungodliness of my heart. Pause.

32:6  Therefore shall every holy one pray to You in a fit time; only in the deluge of many waters they shall not come near to Him.

32:7  You are my refuge from the affliction that encompasses me; my joy, to deliver me from them that have compassed me. Pause.

32:8  I will instruct you and guide you in the way you should go; I will fix My eyes upon you.

32:9  Be not as the horse and mule, which have no understanding; but you must constrain their jaws with bit and bridle, lest they should come near to you.

32:10  Many are the scourges of the sinner; but him that hopes in the Lord, mercy shall surround him.

32:11  Be glad in the Lord, and exalt, you righteous; and shout for joy, all you that are upright in heart!
