Psalms 32
1 AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID. O the blessedness of him whose transgression [is] forgiven, Whose sin is covered.
[A Psalm] of David, Maschil. Blessed [is he 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 unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit [there is] no guile.
3 When I have kept silence, my bones have become old, Through my roaring all the day.
When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring 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 is turned into 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 unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest 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 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.
7 You [are] a hiding place for me, You keep me from distress, Surround me [with] songs of deliverance. (Selah)
Thou [art] my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about 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 shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
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.
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.
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 that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
11 Be glad in YHWH, and rejoice, you righteous, And sing, all you upright of heart!
Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all [ye that are] upright in heart.
