Psalm 32:1–7

₁Blessèd is the one whose transgression is for- | given,*

whose sin is | covered.

₂Blessèd is the man against whom the Lord counts no in- | iquity,*

and in whose spirit there is | no deceit.

₃For when I kept silent, my bones wast- | ed away*

through my groaning | all day long.

₄For day and night your hand was heavy up- | on me;*

my strength was dried up as by the heat of | summer.

₅I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my in- | iquity;*

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

         and you forgave the iniquity | of my sin.

₆Therefore let everyone who is godly   offer prayer to you at a time

         when you | may be found;*

surely in the rush of great waters, they shall not | reach him.

₇You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from | trouble;*

you surround me with shouts of de- | liverance.
