32:4 For day and night your hand was heavy on me. My strength was sapped in the heat of summer. Selah.
32:5 I acknowledged my sin to you. I didn't hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh, And you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
32:6 For this, let everyone who is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him.
32:7 You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah.
32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.
32:9 Don't be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding, Whose are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you.
32:10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked, But he who trusts in Yahweh, loving kindness shall surround him.
32:11 Be glad in Yahweh, and rejoice, you righteous! Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart!
