Psalm 32: O blessed is the man to whom

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 32 First Line: O blessed is the man to whom Lyrics: 1O blessed is the man to whom is freely pardoned All the transgression he hath done, whose sin is covered. 2Bless’d is the man to whom the Lord imputeth not his sin, And in whose sp’rit there is no guile, nor fraud is found therein. 3When as I did refrain my speech, and silent was my tongue, My bones then waxed old, because I roared all day long. 4For upon me both day and night thine hand did heavy lie, So that my moisture turned is in summer’s drought thereby. 5I thereupon have unto thee my sin acknowledged, And likewise mine iniquity I have not covered: I will confess unto the Lord my trespasses, said I; And of my sin thou freely didst forgive th’ iniquity. 6For this shall ev’ry godly one his prayer make to thee; In such a time he shall thee seek, as found thou mayest be. Surely, when floods of waters great do swell up to the brim, They shall not overwhelm his soul, nor once come near to him. 7Thou art my hiding-place, thou shalt from trouble keep me free: Thou with songs of deliverance about shalt compass me. 8I will instruct thee, and thee teach the way that thou shalt go; And, with mine eye upon thee set, I will direction show. 9Then be not like the horse or mule, which do not understand; Whose mouth, lest they come near to thee, a bridle must command. 10Unto the man that wicked is his sorrows shall abound; But him that trusteth in the Lord mercy shall compass round. 11Ye righteous, in the Lord be glad, in him do ye rejoice: All ye that upright are in heart, for joy lift up your voice.

How Blest Are They Whose Trespass

Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 31 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 32 Lyrics: 1 How blest are they whose trespass has freely been forgiven, whose sins are wholly covered before the sight of heaven. Blest they to whom the LORD God does not impute their sin, who have a guileless spirit, whose heart is true within. 2 While I kept guilty silence, my strength was spent with grief: your hand was heavy on me; my soul found no relief. But when I owned my trespass and did not hide my sin, then you forgave my guilt, LORD, restored my life within. 3 So let the godly seek you in times when you are near; no whelming floods shall reach them or cause their hearts to fear. O LORD, you are my refuge, you are my hiding place, and you surround me always with songs of saving grace. 4 "I graciously will teach you the way that you should go, and, with my eye upon you, help you my counsel know. Then do not be unruly or slow to understand; be not perverse, but willing to heed my wise command." 5 The sorrows of the wicked increase from year to year, but those who trust the LORD God know love instead of fear. Then in the LORD be joyful, in song lift up your voice; be glad in God, you righteous: rejoice, O saints, rejoice!
