Psalm 32 — O Blessed Is the Man

O blessed is the man to whom

Is freely pardoned

All the transgression he hath done,

Whose sin is covered.

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord

Imputeth not his sin,

And in whose spirit there is found

No guile or fraud therein.

When as I did refrain my speech,

And silent was my tongue,

My bones then waxed old, because

I roared all day long.

For upon me both day and night

Thine hand did heavy lie,

So that my moisture turned is

In summer's drought thereby.

I thereupon have unto thee

My sin acknowledged,

And likewise mine iniquity

I have not covered.

My faults I'll to Jehovah own,

My transgressions, said I;

And thou forgavest the guilt of sin

In which I guilty lie.

For this shall every godly one

His prayer make to thee;

In such a time he shall thee seek

As found thou mayest be.

Be glad in God, ye righteous ones;

Therein do ye rejoice:

All ye that upright are in heart,

For joy lift up your voice.
