Psalm 32
1 Blessed
is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is
covered.
2 Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not
iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my
roaring all the day long.
4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my
moisture is turned into the drought of summer.
Selah.
5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity
have I not hid. I said, I will confess my
transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgavest the
iniquity of my sin. Selah.
6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto
thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in
the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh
unto him.
7 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me
from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs
of deliverance. Selah.
8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way
which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine
eye.
9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have
no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with
bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.
10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that
trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass him about.
11 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye righteous:
and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

- The Book of David
The Book of Psalms which contains Psalm 32 is also referred to
as the Book of David. David reigned over Judah and Israel
was the second king of the united Kingdom of Israel. King
David is credited with the authorship of many of the Psalms
and the collection is therefore often referred to as the
Book of David. |
