Psalms 32

1 Of David a poem how blessed! [is one who] is forgiven of transgression [is one who] is covered of sin.

[By David. A contemplative psalm.] Happy are those whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

2 How blessed! [is] a person [whom] not he reckons Yahweh to him iniquity and there not in spirit his [is] deceit.

Happy is the one to whom the LORD does not charge with sin, 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 silence, my bones wasted away through 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 on me to my destruction in the heat of summer. (Selah)

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)

I acknowledged my sin to you. I did not hide my iniquity. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD," and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)

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.

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.

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 will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance. (Selah)

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 in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on 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 like the mule, which have no understanding, who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you.

10 Many pains [belong] to wicked [person] and the [one who] trusts in Yahweh covenant loyalty it will surround him.

Many sorrows come to the wicked, but loving kindness shall surround 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, you righteous. Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.
