< Psalms 32 >

1 [By David. A contemplative psalm.] Happy are those whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
לְדָוִד מַשְׂכִּיל אַשְׁרֵי נְֽשׂוּי־פֶּשַׁע כְּסוּי חֲטָאָֽה׃
2 Happy is the one to whom Jehovah does not charge with sin, in whose spirit there is no deceit.
אַשְֽׁרֵי אָדָם לֹא יַחְשֹׁב יְהֹוָה לוֹ עָוֺן וְאֵין בְּרוּחוֹ רְמִיָּֽה׃
3 When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
כִּֽי־הֶחֱרַשְׁתִּי בָּלוּ עֲצָמָי בְּשַׁאֲגָתִי כׇּל־הַיּֽוֹם׃
4 For day and night your hand was heavy on me to my destruction in the heat of summer. (Selah)
כִּי ׀ יוֹמָם וָלַיְלָה תִּכְבַּד עָלַי יָדֶךָ נֶהְפַּךְ לְשַׁדִּי בְּחַרְבֹנֵי קַיִץ סֶֽלָה׃
5 I acknowledged my sin to you. I did not hide my iniquity. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to Jehovah," and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)
חַטָּאתִי אוֹדִיעֲךָ וַעֲוֺנִי לֹֽא־כִסִּיתִי אָמַרְתִּי אוֹדֶה עֲלֵי פְשָׁעַי לַיהֹוָה וְאַתָּה נָשָׂאתָ עֲוֺן חַטָּאתִי סֶֽלָה׃
6 For this, let everyone who is faithful pray to you in a time when you may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him.
עַל־זֹאת יִתְפַּלֵּל כׇּל־חָסִיד ׀ אֵלֶיךָ לְעֵת מְצֹא רַק לְשֵׁטֶף מַיִם רַבִּים אֵלָיו לֹא יַגִּֽיעוּ׃
7 You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance. (Selah)
אַתָּה ׀ סֵתֶר לִי מִצַּר תִּצְּרֵנִי רׇנֵּי פַלֵּט תְּסוֹבְבֵנִי סֶֽלָה׃
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.
אַשְׂכִּֽילְךָ ׀ וְֽאוֹרְךָ בְּדֶֽרֶךְ־זוּ תֵלֵךְ אִיעֲצָה עָלֶיךָ עֵינִֽי׃
9 Do not be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding, who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you.
אַל־תִּהְיוּ ׀ כְּסוּס כְּפֶרֶד אֵין הָבִין בְּמֶתֶג־וָרֶסֶן עֶדְיוֹ לִבְלוֹם בַּל קְרֹב אֵלֶֽיךָ׃
10 Many sorrows come to the wicked, but loving kindness shall surround him who trusts in Jehovah.
רַבִּים מַכְאוֹבִים לָרָשָׁע וְהַבּוֹטֵחַ בַּֽיהֹוָה חֶסֶד יְסוֹבְבֶֽנּוּ׃
11 Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, you righteous. Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.
שִׂמְחוּ בַיהֹוָה וְגִילוּ צַדִּיקִים וְהַרְנִינוּ כׇּל־יִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽב׃
