Psalm 32:1-11  (English Standard Version)<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Blessed Are the Forgiven<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Maskil of David.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

32 <\/span>Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven,<\/span><\/span>
\n    <\/span>whose sin is covered.<\/span><\/span>
\n2 <\/sup>Blessed is the man against whom the Lord<\/span> counts no iniquity,<\/span>
\n    <\/span>and in whose spirit there is no deceit.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

3 <\/sup>For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away<\/span>
\n    <\/span>through my groaning all day long.<\/span><\/span>
\n4 <\/sup>For day and night your hand was heavy upon me;<\/span>
\n    <\/span>my strength was dried up[b<\/a>]<\/sup> as by the heat of summer. Selah<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

5 <\/sup>I acknowledged my sin to you,<\/span>
\n    <\/span>and I did not cover my iniquity;<\/span><\/span>
\nI said, \u201cI will confess my transgressions to the Lord<\/span>,\u201d<\/span>
\n    <\/span>and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

6 <\/sup>Therefore let everyone who is godly<\/span>
\n    <\/span>offer prayer to you at a time when you may be found;<\/span><\/span>
\nsurely in the rush of great waters,<\/span>
\n    <\/span>they shall not reach him.<\/span><\/span>
\n7 <\/sup>You are a hiding place for me;<\/span>
\n    <\/span>you preserve me from trouble;<\/span><\/span>
\n    <\/span>you surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

8 <\/sup>I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;<\/span>
\n    <\/span>I will counsel you with my eye upon you.<\/span><\/span>
\n9 <\/sup>Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding,<\/span>
\n    <\/span>which must be curbed with bit and bridle,<\/span><\/span>
\n    <\/span>or it will not stay near you.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

10 <\/sup>Many are the sorrows of the wicked,<\/span>
\n    <\/span>but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>
\n11 <\/sup>Be glad in the Lord<\/span>, and rejoice, O righteous,<\/span>
\n    <\/span>and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
