Psalms 32

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

Maskil de David. Dichoso aquel a quien es perdonada su iniquidad, cuyo pecado es olvidado.

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

Dichoso el hombre a quien Yahvé no imputa culpa y en cuyo espíritu no hay doblez.

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

Mientras callé se consumieron mis huesos, en medio de mis continuos gemidos.

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

Porque de día y de noche pesaba sobre mí tu mano, me revolcaba en mi miseria mientras tenía clavada la espina.

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.

Entonces te manifesté mi delito, y no te oculté mi culpa; dije: “confesaré mi iniquidad a Yahvé” y Tú remitiste la culpa de mi pecado.

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.

Que te invoquen todos los fieles, en el tiempo en que puedes ser hallado; aunque irrumpiera un diluvio de agua, no les alcanzará.

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

Tú para mí eres un refugio que me libra de la angustia, Tú me envuelves en el gozo de mi salud.

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.

“Yo te aleccionaré y te mostraré el camino que has de seguir; de ti cuidaré y fijaré sobre ti mis ojos.

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.

No quieras ser como el caballo o el mulo, sin entendimiento, que han de ser domados con freno y riendas para que te obedezcan.”

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

Muchos dolores aguardan al pecador, mas al que confía en Yahvé lo defenderá la misericordia.

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

Alegraos en Yahvé y regocijaos, oh justos; saltad de júbilo todos los rectos de corazón.
