Psalm 32
ESV Parallel NLT [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
English Standard VersionNew Living Translation
1Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.1Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is put out of sight!
2Blessed is the man against whom the LORD counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.2Yes, what joy for those whose record the LORD has cleared of guilt, whose lives are lived in complete honesty!
3For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.3When I refused to confess my sin, my body wasted away, and I groaned all day long.
4For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. Selah4Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me. My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat. Interlude
5I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah5Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide my guilt. I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the LORD.” And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone. Interlude
6Therefore let everyone who is godly offer prayer to you at a time when you may be found; surely in the rush of great waters, they shall not reach him.6Therefore, let all the godly pray to you while there is still time, that they may not drown in the floodwaters of judgment.
7You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah7For you are my hiding place; you protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of victory. Interlude
8I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.8The LORD says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.
9Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, or it will not stay near you.9Do not be like a senseless horse or mule that needs a bit and bridle to keep it under control.”
10Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the LORD.10Many sorrows come to the wicked, but unfailing love surrounds those who trust the LORD.
11Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!11So rejoice in the LORD and be glad, all you who obey him! Shout for joy, all you whose hearts are pure!
