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!

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.

A Psalm of David, Maschil

Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 32 First Line: O blessed is the man to whom Lyrics: 1 Oh blessed is the man to whom Trespass is pardoned, And to whom transgression Is wholly covered. 2 O blessed is the man to whom The Lord imputes not sin; And he who such a spirit hath That guile is not therein. 3 My bones whilst I did silence keep, With age did wear away, By reason of my roaring cry, Continuing all the day. 4 For heavily thy hand did lie Upon me day and night; That into summers scorching drought My moisture turned quite. Selah. 5 My sinful trespass unto thee I have acknowledge, And my perverse iniquity I have not covered. Against my self my sins said I, I'll to the Lord confess; and then of mine iniquity Thou didst the sin release. Selah. 6 For this each godly one to thee In finding time shall pray; Surely in floods of waters great, Come nigh him shall not they. 7 Thou art my hiding place, thou shalt From trouble set me free; Thou with songs of deliverance Shall round encompass me. Selah. 8 To thee I will instruction give, Teach thee likewise will I the way wherein thou shouldest go, I'll guide thee with mine eye. 9 Be ye not like the horse and mule Which do not understand, Whose mouths with bridle-bit we rule, To bring them to command. 10 To every one that wicked is Their sorrows do abound: But him that on the Lord relies, Shall mercy compass round. 11 Be joyful in Jehovah ye, Ye righteous ones rejoice: And all in heart that upright be, Shout forth with chearful voice.

Author: T. S. Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 32 First Line: The man is blest whose wickednesse Lyrics: 1 The man is blest whose wickednesse the Lord hath cleane remitted: And he whose sin and wickednesse is hid and also covered. 2 And blest is he to whom the Lord imputeth not his sin: Which 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 weare and waste away with daily mome and plaint. 4 For night and day thy hand on me so grievous was and smart, That all my bloud and humours moist to drinesse did convert. 5 I did therefore confesse my faults, and all my sins discover, Then thou, O Lord, didst me forgive, and all my sinnes passe over. 6 The humble man shall pray therefore, and seek thee in due time, So that the flouds of waters great shall have no power on him. 7 When trouble and adversity do compasse 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 my self have learn'd by proofe and sight. 9 Be not so rude and ignorant, as is the horse and mule: Whose mouth without a reine or bit from harm thou canst not rule. 10 The wicked man shall manifold sorrowes and griefs sustaine: But unto him that trusts in God his goodnesse shall remaine. 11 Be merry therefore in the Lord, ye just lift up your voice: And ye of pure and perfect heart, be glad and eke rejoyce.
