Psalm 31

Select Translation

1 A Psalm of instruction by David. Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, And whose sins are covered.
2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin, And in whose mouth there is no guile.
3 Because I kept silence, my bones waxed old, From my crying all the day.
4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: I became thoroughly miserable while a thorn was fastened in me. Pause.
5 I acknowledged my sin, And hid not mine iniquity: I said, I will confess mine iniquity to the Lord against myself; And thou forgavest the ungodliness of my heart. Pause.
6 Therefore shall every holy one pray to thee in a fit time: Only in the deluge of many waters they shall not come nigh to him.
7 Thou art my refuge from the affliction that encompasses me; My joy, to deliver me from them that have compassed me. Pause.
8 I will instruct thee and guide thee in this way wherein thou shalt go: I will fix mine eyes upon thee.
9 Be ye not as horse and mule, which have no understanding: But thou must constrain their jaws with bit and curb, Lest they should come nigh to thee.
10 Many are the scourges of the sinner: But him that hopes in the Lord mercy shall compass about.
11 Be glad in the Lord, and exult, ye righteous: And glory, all ye that are upright in heart.
