32:1 A maskil of David. Happy is the person whose sins are forgiven, whose wrongs are pardoned.
32:2 Happy is the person whom the Lord does not consider guilty and in whom there is nothing false.
32:3 When I kept things to myself, I felt weak deep inside me. I moaned all day long.
32:4 Day and night you punished me. My strength was gone as in the summer heat. Selah
32:5 Then I confessed my sins to you and didn’t hide my guilt. I said, “I will confess my sins to the Lord,” and you forgave my guilt. Selah
32:6 For this reason, all who obey you should pray to you while they still can. When troubles rise like a flood, they will not reach them.
32:7 You are my hiding place. You protect me from my troubles and fill me with songs of salvation. Selah
32:8 The Lord says, “I will make you wise and show you where to go. I will guide you and watch over you.
32:9 So don’t be like a horse or donkey, that doesn’t understand. They must be led with bits and reins, or they will not come near you.”
32:10 Wicked people have many troubles, but the Lord’s love surrounds those who trust him.
32:11 Good people, rejoice and be happy in the Lord. Sing all you whose hearts are right.
