< Psalms 32 >
1 Of David a poem how blessed! [is one who] is forgiven of transgression [is one who] is covered of sin.
Of David. A Maskil. Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
2 How blessed! [is] a person [whom] not he reckons Yahweh to him iniquity and there not in spirit his [is] deceit.
Blessed is the man whose iniquity the LORD does not count against him, in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 If I kept silent they became worn out bones my in cry of distress my all the day.
When I kept silent, my bones became brittle from my groaning all day long.
4 For - by day and night it was heavy on me hand your it was changed juice my by [the] dry heat of summer (Selah)
For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was drained as in the summer heat.
5 Sin my I made known to you and iniquity my not I covered I said I will confess on transgressions my to Yahweh and you you forgave [the] guilt of sin my (Selah)
Then I acknowledged my sin to You and did not hide my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” and You forgave the guilt of my sin.
6 On this let him pray every faithful [person] - to you to a time of finding certainly to a flood of waters many to him not they will reach.
Therefore let all the godly pray to You while You may be found. Surely when great waters rise, they will not come near.
7 You - [are] a hiding place of me from distress you will preserve me shouts of deliverance; [surely] you will surround me (Selah)
You are my hiding place. You protect me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance.
8 I will instruct you - and I will teach you [the] way which you will go I will counsel [you] [will be] on you eye my.
I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will give you counsel and watch over you.
9 May not you be - like a horse like a mule [which] there not [is] understanding with bridle and halter trapping[s] its to restrain not to draw near to you.
Do not be like the horse or mule, which have no understanding; they must be controlled with bit and bridle to make them come to you.
10 Many pains [belong] to wicked [person] and the [one who] trusts in Yahweh covenant loyalty it will surround him.
Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but loving devotion surrounds him who trusts in the LORD.
11 Rejoice in Yahweh and be glad O righteous [people] and shout for joy O all [people] upright of heart.
Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, O righteous ones; shout for joy, all you upright in heart.
