Psalms 32

1 A Psalm of David. Maschil. Happy is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is pardoned.

罪惡蒙赦免，過犯得遮掩的人，有福的。

2 Happy is the man unto whom the LORD counteth not iniquity, 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 When I kept silence, my bones wore away through my groaning 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; my sap was turned as in the droughts of summer. (Selah)

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 acknowledged my sin unto Thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid; I said: 'I will make confession concerning my transgressions unto the LORD' — and Thou, Thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)

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 let every one that is godly pray unto Thee in a time when Thou mayest be found; surely, when the great waters overflow, they will not reach 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 hiding-place; Thou wilt preserve me from the adversary; with songs of deliverance Thou wilt compass me about. (Selah)

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 instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go; I will give counsel, Mine eye being 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 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding; whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, that they 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 sorrows of the wicked; but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy compasseth him about.

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 righteous; and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in 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。
