Psalm 32

Dauid puniſhed with grieuous ſicknes for his ſinnes, counteth them bleſſed, to whome God doeth not impute their tranſgreſſions 5 And after that he had confeſſed his ſinnes and obteined pardon, 6 He exhorteth the wicked men to liue godly, 11 And the good to reioyce.
¶A Pſalme of Dauid to giue inſtruction.
1.BLeſſed is he whoſe wickednes is forgiuen, & whoſe ſinne is couered.
2.Bleſſed is the man, vnto whome the Lord imputeth not iniquitie, & in whoſe ſpirit there is no guile.
3.When I helde my tongue, my bones conſumed, or when I roared all the day,
4.(For thine hãd is heauie vpon me, daie & night: & my moiſture is turned into the drought of ſummer. Sélah)
5.Thẽ I acknowledged my ſinne vnto thee, nether hid I mine iniquitie: for I thoght, I wil confeſſe againſt my ſelf my wickednes vnto the Lord, and thou forgaueſt the puniſhment of my ſinne. Sélah.
6.Therefore ſhal euerie one, that is godlie, make his praier vnto thee in a time, when thou maieſt be founde: ſurely in the flood of great waters they ſhal not come nere him.
7.Thou art my ſecret place: thou preſerueſt me from trouble: thou compaſſeſt me about with ioyful deliuerance. Sélah.
8.I wil inſtruct thee, & teache thee in the way, that thou ſhalt go, & I wil guide thee with mine eye.
9.Be ye not like an horſe, or like a mule, which vnderſtand not: whoſe mouthes thou doeſt binde with bit and bridel, leſt they come nere thee.
10.Many ſorowes ſhal come to the wicked: but he, that truſteth in the Lord, mercie ſhal compaſſe him.
11.Be glad ye righteous, & reioyce in the Lord, and be ioyful all ye, that are vpright in heart.
