Psalm 32

^{Tools
1} ([Psalm of David]) Blessed is the person whose transgression is forgiven and whose sin is pardoned. ^{Tools
2} Blessed is the person whom Jehovah no longer accuses of sin and who has no deceitful thoughts.

^{Tools
3} When I kept silent about my sins, my body wasted away and I groaned all day long. ^{Tools
4} Day and night your hand lay heavily on me. My strength drained in the summer heat. ^{Tools
5} I confessed my sins to you, and I did not cover up my guilt. I decided to confess them to you, O Jehovah. Then you forgave all my sins.

^{Tools
6} For this reason let all godly people pray to you when you may be found. Then raging floodwater will not reach them. ^{Tools
7} You are my hiding place. You protect me from trouble. You surround me with joyous songs of salvation.

^{Tools
8} Jehovah says: I will instruct you. I will teach you the way that you should go. I will advise you as my eyes watch over you. ^{Tools
9} Do not be stubborn like a horse or mule. They need a bit and bridle in their mouth to restrain them, or they will not come near you.

^{Tools
10} Very much pain awaits wicked people, but loving-kindness and mercy surrounds those who trust Jehovah. ^{Tools
11} Be glad and find joy in Jehovah, you righteous people. Shout for joy all that are upright in heart.
