Psalms 32

New American Bible	King James Bible
¹ Of David. A maskil. Happy the sinner whose fault is removed, whose sin is forgiven.	¹ Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
² Happy those to whom the LORD imputes no guilt, in whose spirit is no deceit.	² Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
³ As long as I kept silent, my bones wasted away; I groaned all the day.	³ When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
⁴ For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength withered as in dry summer heat. Selah	⁴ For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
⁵ Then I declared my sin to you; my guilt I did not hide. I said, "I confess my faults to the LORD," and you took away the guilt of my sin. Selah	⁵ I acknowledged 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 Thus should all your faithful pray in time of distress. Though flood waters threaten, they will never reach them.	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 You are my shelter; from distress you keep me; with safety you ring me round. Selah	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 you and show you the way you should walk, give you counsel and watch over you.	⁸ I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
⁹ Do not be senseless like horses or mules; with bit and bridle their temper is curbed, else they will not come to you.	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 are the sorrows of the wicked, but love surrounds those who trust in the LORD.	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, you just; exult, all you upright of heart.	¹¹ Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
