Psalm 32

Beati quorum
1
Happy are they whose transgressions are forgiven, *
and whose sin is put away!
2
Happy are they to whom the Lord imputes no guilt, *
and in whose spirit there is no guile!
3
While I held my tongue, my bones withered away, *
because of my groaning all day long.
4
For your hand was heavy upon me day and night; *
my moisture was dried up as in the heat of summer.
5
Then I acknowledged my sin to you, *
and did not conceal my guilt.
6
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.” *
Then you forgave me the guilt of my sin.
7
Therefore all the faithful will make their prayers to you in time of trouble; *
when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach them.
8
You are my hiding-place;
you preserve me from trouble; *
you surround me with shouts of deliverance.
