< Psalms 32 >
1 “Of David: a Maskil.” Happy is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
Ipsi David intellectus. Beati quorum remissæ sunt iniquitates, et quorum tecta sunt peccata.
2 Happy is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
Beatus vir cui non imputavit Dominus peccatum, nec est in spiritu ejus dolus.
3 When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my crying all the day.
Quoniam tacui, inveteraverunt ossa mea, dum clamarem tota die.
4 For by day and night lay thy hand heavily upon me: my [life's] moisture hath been changed through the droughts of summer. (Selah)
Quoniam die ac nocte gravata est super me manus tua, conversus sum in ærumna mea, dum configitur spina.
5 My sin do I ever acknowledge unto thee, and my iniquity have I not covered up. I said, I will make confession because of my transgressions unto the Lord: and thou truly forgavest the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)
Delictum meum cognitum tibi feci, et injustitiam meam non abscondi. Dixi: Confitebor adversum me injustitiam meam Domino; et tu remisisti impietatem peccati mei.
6 For this shall every pious one pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely [then] when great waters overflow, they shall never reach unto him.
Pro hac orabit ad te omnis sanctus in tempore opportuno. Verumtamen in diluvio aquarum multarum, ad eum non approximabunt.
7 Thou art my hiding-place; from distress wilt thou preserve me; with songs of deliverance wilt thou encompass me. (Selah)
Tu es refugium meum a tribulatione quæ circumdedit me; exsultatio mea, erue me a circumdantibus me.
8 I will instruct thee and I will teach thee concerning the way which thou oughtest to go: I will counsel thee with my eye.
Intellectum tibi dabo, et instruam te in via hac qua gradieris; firmabo super te oculos meos.
9 Be ye not like the horse, or like the mule, who hath no understanding; who must be held in with bit and bridle, his ornament, lest he come near unto thee.
Nolite fieri sicut equus et mulus, quibus non est intellectus. In camo et freno maxillas eorum constringe, qui non approximant ad te.
10 Many are the pains of the wicked; but him that trusteth in the Lord will he encompass with kindness.
Multa flagella peccatoris; sperantem autem in Domino misericordia circumdabit.
11 Rejoice in the Lord, and be glad, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
Lætamini in Domino, et exsultate, justi; et gloriamini, omnes recti corde.
