Psalms 32
1 AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID. O the blessedness of him whose transgression [is] forgiven, Whose sin is covered.
Blessed are those whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2 O the blessedness of a man, To whom YHWH does not impute iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.
Blessed is the man to whom Jehovah does not impute sin, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 When I have kept silence, my bones have become old, Through my roaring all the day.
When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all the day long.
4 When by day and by night Your hand is heavy on me, My moisture has been changed Into the droughts of summer. (Selah)
For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me. My moisture was changed as with the drought of summer. (Selah)
5 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)
I acknowledged my sin to thee, and I did not hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to Jehovah, and thou forgave the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)
6 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.
For this let everyone who is devout pray to thee in a time when thou may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach to him.
7 You [are] a hiding place for me, You keep me from distress, Surround me [with] songs of deliverance. (Selah)
Thou are my hiding-place. Thou will preserve me from trouble. Thou will encompass me around with songs of deliverance. (Selah)
8 I cause you to act wisely, And direct you in the way that you go, I cause My eye to take counsel concerning you.
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shall go. I will counsel thee with my eye upon thee.
9 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.
Become ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding, whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in, else they will not come near to thee.
10 Many [are] the pains of the wicked; As for him who is trusting in YHWH, Kindness surrounds him.
Many sorrows shall be to the wicked, but he who trusts in Jehovah, loving kindness shall encompass him about.
11 Be glad in YHWH, and rejoice, you righteous, And sing, all you upright of heart!
Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous. And shout for joy, all ye who are upright in heart.
