Psalm 32

Blessed is he whose unrighteousness is forgiven  *

and whose sin is covered.

Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth no sin *

and in whose spirit there is no guile.

For while I held my tongue *

my bones consumed away through my daily complaining.

For thy hand is heavy upon me day and night *

and my moisture is like the drought in summer.

I will acknowledge my sin unto thee *

and mine unrighteousness have I not hid.

I said, I will confess my sins unto the Lord *

and so thou forgavest the wickedness of my sin.

For this shall every one that is godly make his prayer unto thee, in a time when thou mayest be found *

but in the great water-floods they shall not come nigh him.

Thou art a place to hide me in, thou shalt preserve me from trouble *

thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance.
