Psalms 32
1 Of David. Instruction. Blessed is he [whose] transgression is forgiven, [whose] sin is covered!
Of David. A Maskil. Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
2 Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah reckoneth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile!
Blessed is the man whose iniquity the LORD does not count against him, in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old, through my groaning all the day long.
When I kept silent, my bones became brittle from my groaning all day long.
4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me; my moisture was turned into the drought of summer. (Selah)
For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was drained as in the summer heat.
5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity I covered not; I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah, and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)
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.
6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee at a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they will not reach him.
Therefore let all the godly pray to You while You may be found. Surely when great waters rise, they will not come near.
7 Thou art a hiding-place for me; thou preservest me from trouble; thou dost encompass me with songs of deliverance. (Selah)
You are my hiding place. You protect me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance.
8 I will instruct thee and teach thee the way in which thou shalt go; I will counsel [thee] with mine eye upon thee.
I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will give you counsel and watch over you.
9 Be ye not as a horse, as a mule, which have no understanding: whose trappings must be bit and bridle, for restraint, or they will not come unto thee.
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.
10 Many sorrows hath the wicked; but he that confideth in Jehovah, loving-kindness shall encompass him.
Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but loving devotion surrounds him who trusts in the LORD.
11 Rejoice in Jehovah, and be glad, ye righteous; and shout for joy, all ye upright in heart.
Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, O righteous ones; shout for joy, all you upright in heart.
