^32:1 Those whose transgression is forgiven are fortunate, whose sin is covered. ^32:2 The man to whom Jehovah does not reckon sin and in whose spirit there is no deceit is fortunate.

    ^32:3 Because I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all the day long. ^32:4 Because day and night your hand was heavy upon me. My moisture was changed as with the drought of summer. Selah.

    ^32:5 I acknowledged my sin to you and I did not hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to Jehovah and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

    ^32:6 On this, let everyone who is devout pray to you in a time when you may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow they will not reach to him.^32:7 You are my hiding-place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will encompass me around with songs of deliverance. Selah.

    ^32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you will go. I will counsel you with my eye upon you.

    ^32:9 Do not become as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding, whose trappings must be a bit and bridle to hold them in, else they will not come near to you.

    ^32:10 Many sorrows will be to the wicked, but he who trusts in Jehovah, loving kindness will encompass him around.

    ^32:11 Be glad in Jehovah and rejoice, you^*, righteous ones. And shout for joy, all you^* who are upright in heart.
