Salmos 32

The Joy of Forgiveness

1 Of David. A Maskil.*32:1 Maskil is probably a musical or liturgical term; used for Psalms 32, 42, 44–45, 52–55, 74, 78, 88–89, and 142.

Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven,

whose sins are covered.*32:1 LXX Blessed is he whose lawless acts are forgiven, whose sins are covered; cited in Romans 4:7

2 Blessed is the man

whose iniquity the LORD does not count against him,*32:2 LXX Blessed is the man whose sin the LORD does not count against him; cited in Romans 4:8

in whose spirit there is no deceit.

3 When I kept silent, my bones became brittle

from my groaning all day long.

4 For day and night

Your hand was heavy upon me;

my strength was drained*32:4 Or my vitality was turned

as in the summer heat.

Selah

5 Then I acknowledged my sin to You

and did not hide my iniquity.

I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,"

and You forgave the guilt of my sin.

Selah

6 Therefore let all the godly pray to You

while You may be found.

Surely when great waters rise,

they will not come near.
