< Psalms 32 >
1 Of David. A Maskil. Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
Psalmus David, intelligentia. Beati, quorum remissae sunt iniquitates: et quorum tecta sunt peccata.
2 Blessed is the man whose iniquity the LORD does not count against him, in whose spirit there is no deceit.
Beatus vir, cui non imputavit Dominus peccatum, nec est in spiritu eius dolus.
3 When I kept silent, my bones became brittle from my groaning all day long.
Quoniam tacui, inveteraverunt ossa mea, dum clamarem tota die.
4 For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was drained as in the summer heat.
Quoniam die ac nocte gravata est super me manus tua: conversus sum in aerumna mea, dum configitur spina.
5 Then I acknowledged my sin to You and did not hide my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” and You forgave the guilt of my sin.
Delictum meum cognitum tibi feci: et iniustitiam meam non abscondi. Dixi: Confitebor adversum me iniustitiam meam Domino: et tu remisisti impietatem peccati mei.
6 Therefore let all the godly pray to You while You may be found. Surely when great waters rise, they will not come near.
Pro hac orabit ad te omnis sanctus, in tempore opportuno. Verumtamen in diluvio aquarum multarum, ad eum non approximabunt.
7 You are my hiding place. You protect me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance.
Tu es refugium meum a tribulatione, quae circumdedit me: exultatio mea erue me a circumdantibus me.
8 I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will give you counsel and watch over you.
Intellectum tibi dabo, et instruam te in via hac, qua gradieris: firmabo super te oculos meos.
9 Do not be like the horse or mule, which have no understanding; they must be controlled with bit and bridle to make them come to you.
Nolite fieri sicut equus et mulus, quibus non est intellectus. In camo et freno maxillas eorum constringe, qui non approximant ad te.
10 Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but loving devotion surrounds him who trusts in the LORD.
Multa flagella peccatoris, sperantem autem in Domino misericordia circumdabit.
11 Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, O righteous ones; shout for joy, all you upright in heart.
Laetamini in Domino et exultate iusti, et gloriamini omnes recti corde.
