| 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.
