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.
