Psalm 32 Lyrics - Ian White

PSALM 32 

Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, 

whose sins are covered. 

Blessed the man whose sin the Lord will never 

count against him, 

And in whose spirit there is no deceit. 

When I kept dumb, I felt as though my body 

wasted through all my groaning. 

All day and night your hand was heavy down 

against me 

My strength was weakened as in the summer heat. 

Then I confessed, and spoke of all my sin out to you, 

out in the open. 

I said "I'll confess and tell the Lord of my 

transgressions". 

And you forgave me the guilt of all my sins. 

Therefore let everyone who loves the Lord pray 

to you while you may be found, 

Surely when the mighty waters rise, 

They will not reach him. 

You are my Lord, you are my refuge and protector, 

And you surround me with songs of deliverance. 

Instruction I'll give and I will teach you in the ways 

to go, I'll watch and guide you. 

Do not be like the horse or mule who have no 

understanding, 

Who must be bridled before they come to you. 

The torments and woes of wicked men are many 

numbered, so many troubles: 

But the Lord's ceaseless love, this love of his 

that is unfailing, 

Surrounds the servant who puts his trust in him. 

Rejoice, be joyful in the Lord, be glad, all of you, 

all you righteous men. 

Sing, sing your praises to the Lord, 

All of you who are upright in heart.
