Psalm
Of David. Masʹkil.*
32 Happy is the one whose revolt is pardoned, whose sin is covered.+
2 Happy is the man* to whose account Jehovah does not put error,+
And in whose spirit there is no deceit.+
3 When I kept silent my bones wore out through my groaning* all day long.+
4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me.+
My life’s moisture has been changed as in the dry heat of summer.+ Seʹlah.
5 My sin I finally confessed to you, and my error I did not cover.+
I said: “I shall make confession over my transgressions to Jehovah.”+
And you yourself pardoned the error of my sins.+ Seʹlah.
6 On this account every loyal one will pray to you+
At such a time only as you may be found.+
As for the flood of many waters, they will not touch him himself.+
7 You are a place of concealment for me; you will safeguard me from distress itself.+
With joyful cries at providing escape you will surround me.+ Seʹlah.
9 Do not make yourselves like a horse or mule without understanding,+
Whose spiritedness is to be curbed even by bridle or halter+
