PSAL. XXXII.

1 Dauid purified with grieuous sicknes for his sinnes, co∣unteth them blessed, to whome God doeth not impure their transgressions. 5 And after that he had confessed his sinnes and obteined pardon, 6 He 〈◊〉〈◊〉 the wicked men to liue godly, 11 And the good to reioyce.

¶ A Psalme of Dauid to giuea 1.1 instruction-

1 BLessed (is he) whose wickednes isb 1.2 forgi∣uen, (and) whose sinne is couered.

2 Blessed (is) the man, vnto whome the Lorde imputeth not iniquitie, and in whose spirit (there is) no guile.

3 When I helde myc 1.3 tongue, my bones consu med, (or) when Id 1.4 roared all the day.

4 [For thine hand is heauie vpon me, day and night: (and) my moisture is turned into the drought of simmer. 〈◊〉〈◊〉]

5 (Thē) Ie 1.5 acknowledged my sinne vnto thee, nether hid I myne iniquitie: (for) I thoght, I wil confesse against my selfe my wickednes vnto the Lorde, and thou forgauest the pu∣nishment of my sinne. Sélah.

6 Therefore shall euerie one, that is godlie, make his prayer vnto thee in af 1.6 time, when thou maiest be founde: surely in the flood of great watersg 1.7 they shall not come nere him.

7 Thou art my secret place: thou preseruest me from trouble: thou compassest me about with ioyfull deliuerance. Sélah.

8 I wilh 1.8 instruct thee, and teache thee in the way, that thou shalt go, (and) I wil guide thee with mine eye.* 1.9

9 Be ye not lyke an horse, (or) lyke a mule, (whiche) vnderstande not: whosei 1.10 mouthes thou doest binde with bit ād bridel, lest they come nere thee.

10 Many sorowes (shall come) to the wicked: but he, that trusteth in the Lord, mercie shal compasse him.

11 Be glad ye ryghteous, andk 1.11 reioyce in the Lorde, and be ioyfull all ye, that are vpryght in heart.
