32:3 When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.

32:4 For day and night your hand was heavy on me. My strength was sapped in the heat of summer. Selah.

32:5 I acknowledged my sin to you. I didn’t hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the LORD, and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

32:6 For this, let everyone who is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him.

32:7 You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah.

32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.

32:9 Don’t be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding, who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you.

32:10 Many sorrows come to the wicked, but loving kindness shall surround him who trusts in the LORD.

32:11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, you righteous! Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart!
