Psalms 32:3-11

³When I kept silence, my bones became old through my roaring all the day long.

⁴For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drouth of summer. Selah.

⁵I acknowledged my sin to thee, and my iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

⁶For this shall every one that is godly pray to thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh to him.

⁷Thou art my hiding place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble; thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

⁸I will instruct thee, and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with my eye.

⁹Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near to thee.

¹⁰Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall encompass him.

¹¹Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
