Psalms 32
1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID. O the blessedness of him whose transgression [is] forgiven, Whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed is the man unto whom Yhwh imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
O the blessedness of a man, To whom YHWH does not impute iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
When I have kept silence, my bones have become old, Through my roaring all the day.
4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. (Selah)
When by day and by night Your hand is heavy on me, My moisture has been changed Into the droughts of summer. (Selah)
5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Yhwh; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)
I cause You to know my sin, And I have not covered my iniquity. I have said, “I confess to YHWH concerning My transgressions,” And You have taken away the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)
6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.
For every saintly one prays this to You, In the time to find [You]. Surely at an overflowing of many waters, They do not come to him.
7 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. (Selah)
You [are] a hiding place for me, You keep me from distress, Surround me [with] songs of deliverance. (Selah)
8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
I cause you to act wisely, And direct you in the way that you go, I cause My eye to take counsel concerning you.
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, lest they come near unto thee.
Do not be as a horse—as a mule, Without understanding, With bridle and bit, its ornaments, to curb, Not to come near to you.
10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in Yhwh, mercy shall compass him about.
Many [are] the pains of the wicked; As for him who is trusting in YHWH, Kindness surrounds him.
11 Be glad in Yhwh, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
Be glad in YHWH, and rejoice, you righteous, And sing, all you upright of heart!
