Psalms 32
1 Of David. Instruction. Blessed is he [whose] transgression is forgiven, [whose] sin is covered!
Of David. Maschil. Happy is he who has forgiveness for his wrongdoing, and whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah reckoneth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile!
Happy is the man in whom the Lord sees no evil, and 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 my mouth shut, my bones were wasted, because of my crying all through the day.
4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me; my moisture was turned into the drought of summer. (Selah)
For the weight of your hand was on me day and night; my body became dry like the earth in summer. (Selah)
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)
I made my wrongdoing clear to you, and did not keep back my sin. I said, I will put it all before the Lord; and you took away my wrongdoing and my sin. (Selah)
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.
For this cause let every saint make his prayer to you at a time when you are near: then the overflowing of the great waters will not overtake him.
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 safe and secret place; you will keep me from trouble; you will put songs of salvation on the lips of those who are round me. (Selah)
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 give you knowledge, teaching you the way to go; my eye will be your guide.
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 the ass, without sense; ...
10 Many sorrows hath the wicked; but he that confideth in Jehovah, loving-kindness shall encompass him.
The sinner will be full of trouble; but mercy will be round the man who has faith 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 with joy, you upright men; give cries of joy, all you whose hearts are true.
