Psalms 32

1 To David himself, understanding. Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

罪惡蒙赦免，過犯得遮掩的人，有福的。

2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

上主不歸咎，心中無詐欺的人是有福的。

3 Because I was silent my bones grew old; whilst I cried out all the day long.

就在我緘默不語的時期內，我的骸因常傷歎而疲衰；

4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: I am turned in my anguish, whilst the thorn is fastened.

因為你的手晝夜在重壓著我，我的力量像在盛暑中而消耗。（休止）

5 I have acknowledged my sin to thee, and my injustice I have not concealed. I said I will confess against myself my injustice to the Lord: and thou hast forgiven the wickedness of my sin.

我終於向你承認我的罪過，絲毫也沒有隱瞞我的邪惡，我說：「我要向上主承認我的罪孽，」你立刻便寬赦了我的罪債。（休止）

6 For this shall every one that is holy pray to thee in a seasonable time. And yet in a flood of many waters, they shall not come nigh unto him.

為此虔敬的人在困厄時，都應向你哀禱，縱使大水氾濫成災，他也不會遭受波濤。

7 Thou art my refuge from the trouble which hath encompassed me: my joy, deliver me from them that surround me.

你是我的避難所，救我脫離災禍，你以拯救我的喜樂，常環繞著我。（休止）

8 I will give thee understanding, and I will instruct thee in this way, in which thou shalt go: I will fix my eyes upon thee.

我教導你，指示你應走的正道，雙眼注視你，親自作你的嚮導。

9 Do not become like the horse and the mule, who have no understanding. With bit and bridle bind fast their jaws, who come not near unto thee.

不要像騾馬一般糊塗，需要韁轡來加以管束；不然，不向你眼前趨赴。

10 Many are the scourges of the sinner, but mercy shall encompass him that hopeth in the Lord.

邪惡的人必要受許多的痛苦；仰望上主的人，必有慈愛圍護，

11 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye just, and glory, all ye right of heart.

正義的人們！你們應在上主內歡欣喜樂。 心正的人們！你們應在上主內歡呼踴躍。
