Author: T. S. Hymnal: The Whole Book of Psalms #XXXII (1790) Scripture: Psalm 32 Lyrics: 1 The man is blest, whose wickedness
the Lord forgiven hath,
And he, whose sin is likewise hid,
and cover'd from his wrath.
2 And blest is he, to whom the Lord
imputeth not his sin,
Who in his heart hath hid no guile,
nor fraud is found therein.
3 For whilst that I kept close my sin
in silence and constraint,
My bones did waste and wear away
with daily moan and plaint.
4 Both night and day thy hand on me
so grievous was and smart,
My moisture like the summer's heat
to dryness did convert.
5 I did therefore confess my faults,
and all my sins reveal,
Then thou, O Lord, didst me forgive,
and all my sins conceal.
6 The humble man shall pray therefore,
and seek thee in due time,
so that the floods of waters great
shall have no power on him.
7 When trouble and adversity
do compass me about,
Thou art my refuge and my joy,
and thou didst rid me out.
8 Come hither, and I will thee teach
how thou shalt walk aright;
I will thee guide, as I myself
have learn'd by proof and sight:
9 Be not so rude and ignorant,
as is the horse and mule,
Whose mouth without a rein or bit,
from harm thou can'st not rule.
10 The wicked man shall manifold
sorrows and grief sustain;
But unto him, that trusts in God
his goodness shall remain.
11 Be joyful therefore in the Lord,
ye just, lift up your voice;
And ye, of pure and perfect heart,
with cheerfulness rejoice. Languages: English
