Psalms 32:1-5

Blessed Are the Forgiven

A Maskil
Probably a musical or liturgical term
of David.

1 bBlessed is the one whose ctransgression is forgiven,
whose sin is covered.
2Blessed is the man against whom the Lord dcounts no iniquity,
and in whose spirit ethere is no deceit.
3 For when I kept silent, my fbones wasted away
through my ggroaning all day long.
4For day and night your hhand was heavy upon me;
my strength was dried up
Hebrew  my vitality was changed
as by the heat of summer.  Selah
5 I jacknowledged my sin to you,
and I did not cover my iniquity;
I said, “I kwill confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
and you forgave the iniquity of my sin.  Selah
