Psalm 32:1-5

English Standard Version

Blessed Are the Forgiven

A Maskil^[a] of David.

32 ^(A)Blessed is the one whose ^(B)transgression is forgiven,
whose sin is covered.
²Blessed is the man against whom the Lord ^(C)counts no iniquity,
and in whose spirit ^(D)there is no deceit.

³For when I kept silent, my ^(E)bones wasted away
through my ^(F)groaning all day long.
⁴For day and night your ^(G)hand was heavy upon me;
my strength was dried up^[b] as by the heat of summer. Selah

⁵I ^(H)acknowledged my sin to you,
and I did not cover my iniquity;
I said, “I ^(I)will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah

Psalm 103:10-13

English Standard Version

¹⁰He does not deal with us ^(A)according to our sins,
    nor repay us according to our iniquities.
¹¹For ^(B)as high as the heavens are above the earth,
    so great is his ^(C)steadfast love toward ^(D)those who fear him;
¹²as far as the east is from the west,
    so far does he ^(E)remove our transgressions from us.
¹³As ^(F)a father shows compassion to his children,
    so the Lord shows compassion ^(G)to those who fear him.
