Psalms 32:4-11 ▼

4 When by day and by night Your hand is heavy on me, || My moisture has been changed || Into the droughts of summer. Selah.

5 I cause You to know my sin, || And I have not covered my iniquity. I have said, “I confess to YHWH concerning My transgressions,” || And You have taken away the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

6 For every saintly one prays this to You, || In the time to find [You]. Surely at an overflowing of many waters, || They do not come to him.

7 You [are] a hiding place for me, || You keep me from distress, || Surround me [with] songs of deliverance. Selah.

8 I cause you to act wisely, || And direct you in the way that you go, || I cause My eye to take counsel concerning you.

9 Do not be as a horse—as a mule, || Without understanding, || With bridle and bit, its ornaments, to curb, || Not to come near to you.

10 Many [are] the pains of the wicked; As for him who is trusting in YHWH, || Kindness surrounds him.

11 Be glad in YHWH, and rejoice, you righteous, || And sing, all you upright of heart!
