Psalms 32
1 Of David. Instruction. Blessed is he [whose] transgression is forgiven, [whose] sin is covered!
“A psalm of David.” Happy is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is pardoned!
2 Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah reckoneth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile!
Happy the man to whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no guile!
3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old, through my groaning all the day long.
While I kept silence, my bones were wasted, By reason of my groaning all the 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 thy hand was heavy upon me; My moisture dried up, as in summer's drought.
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)
At length I acknowledged to thee my sin, And did not hide my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgression to the LORD;” And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin! (Pause)
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 shall every pious man pray to thee, while thou mayst be found; Surely the floods of great waters shall not come near him.
7 Thou art a hiding-place for me; thou preservest me from trouble; thou dost encompass me with songs of deliverance. (Selah)
Thou art my hiding-place; thou preservest me from trouble; Thou compassest me about with songs of deliverance. (Pause)
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 thee, and show thee the way thou shouldst go; I will give thee counsel, and keep mine eye upon thee.
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.
Be ye not like the horse and the mule, which have no understanding, Whose mouths must be pressed with the bridle and curb, Because they will not come near thee!
10 Many sorrows hath the wicked; but he that confideth in Jehovah, loving-kindness shall encompass him.
The wicked hath many sorrows; But he that trusteth in the LORD is encompassed with mercies.
11 Rejoice in Jehovah, and be glad, ye righteous; and shout for joy, all ye upright in heart.
Rejoice in the LORD, and be glad, ye righteous; Shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart!
