Psalm 32:1-6

O blessèd is the man to whom
is freely pardonèd
All the transgression he hath done,
whose sin is coverèd.
2 Blessed 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.

3 When as I did refrain my speech,
and silent was my tongue,
My bones then waxèd old, because
I roarèd all day long.
4 For upon me both day and night
thine hand did heavy lie,
So that my moisture turnèd is
in summer's drought thereby.

5 I thereupon have unto thee
my sin acknowledgèd,
And likewise mine iniquity
I have not coverèd:
I will confess unto the Lord
my trespasses, said I;
And of my sin thou freely didst
forgive th' iniquity.

6 For this shall ev'ry godly one
his prayèr 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.
