Psalm 32 Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, favored by God] is he whose transgression is forgiven, And whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute wickedness, And in whose spirit there is no deceit. I acknowledged my sin to You, And I did not hide my wickedness; I said, "I will confess [all] my transgressions to the Lord"; And You forgave the guilt of my sin. You are my hiding place; You, Lord, protect me from trouble; You surround me with songs and shouts of deliverance. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you [who are willing to learn] with My eye upon you. Many are the sorrows of the wicked, But he who trusts in and relies on the Lord shall be surrounded with compassion and lovingkindness. Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous [who actively seek right standing with Him]; Shout for joy, all you upright in heart.
