Psalms 32
1 Blessed are those whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
By David. — An Instruction. O the happiness of him whose transgression [is] forgiven, Whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed is the man to whom Jehovah does not impute sin, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
O the happiness of a man, To whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all the day long.
When I have kept silence, become old have my bones, Through my roaring all the day.
4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me. My moisture was changed as with the drought of summer. (Selah)
When by day and by night Thy hand is heavy upon me, My moisture hath been changed Into the droughts of summer. (Selah)
5 I acknowledged my sin to thee, and I did not hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to Jehovah, and thou forgave the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)
My sin I cause Thee to know, And mine iniquity I have not covered. I have said, 'I confess concerning My transgressions to Jehovah,' And Thou — Thou hast taken away, The iniquity of my sin. (Selah)
6 For this let everyone who is devout pray to thee in a time when thou may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach to him.
For this doth every saintly one pray to Thee, As the time to find. Surely at an overflowing of many waters, Unto him they come not.
7 Thou are my hiding-place. Thou will preserve me from trouble. Thou will encompass me around with songs of deliverance. (Selah)
Thou [art] a hiding-place for me, From distress Thou dost keep me, [With] songs of deliverance dost compass me. (Selah)
8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shall go. I will counsel thee with my eye upon thee.
I cause thee to act wisely, And direct thee in the way that thou goest, I cause mine eye to take counsel concerning thee.
9 Become ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding, whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in, else they will not come near to thee.
Be ye not as a horse — as a mule, Without understanding, With bridle and bit, its ornaments, to curb, Not to come near unto thee.
10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked, but he who trusts in Jehovah, loving kindness shall encompass him about.
Many [are] the pains of the wicked; As to him who is trusting in Jehovah, Kindness doth compass him.
11 Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous. And shout for joy, all ye who are upright in heart.
Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous, And sing, all ye upright of heart!
