Psalm 32 - NKJV Bible Online

Psalm 32

A Psalm of David. A ¹Contemplation.

Blessed is he whose ^atransgression is forgiven,

Whose sin is covered.

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord ^adoes not ¹impute iniquity,

And ^bin whose spirit there is no deceit.

When I kept silent, my bones grew old

Through my groaning all the day long.

For day and night Your ^ahand was heavy upon me;

My vitality was turned into the drought of summer.

Selah

I acknowledged my sin to You,

And my iniquity I have not hidden.

^aI said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”

And You forgave the iniquity of my sin.

Selah

^aFor this cause everyone who is godly shall ^bpray to You

In a time when You may be found;

Surely in a flood of great waters

They shall not come near him.

^aYou are my hiding place;

You shall preserve me from trouble;

You shall surround me with ^bsongs of deliverance.

Selah

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;

I will guide you with My eye.

Do not be like the ^ahorse or like the mule,

Which have no understanding,

Which must be harnessed with bit and bridle,

Else they will not come near you.

^aMany sorrows shall be to the wicked;

But ^bhe who trusts in the Lord, mercy shall surround him.

^aBe glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous;

And shout for joy, all you upright in heart!
