Psalms 32

1 A psalm of David. A maschil. Blessed is the person whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

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

2 Blessed is the man to whom Yahweh reckons no guilt and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

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

3 When I remained silent, my bones were wasting away while I groaned all day long.

If I kept silent they became worn out bones my in cry of distress my all the day.

4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me. My strength withered as in summer drought. (Selah)

For - by day and night it was heavy on me hand your it was changed juice my by [the] dry heat of summer (Selah)

5 Then I acknowledged my sin to you, and I no longer hid my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh,” and you forgave the guilt of my sin. (Selah)

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)

6 Because of this, all who are godly should pray to you at a time of great distress. Then when the surging waters overflow, they will not reach those people.

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.

7 You are my hiding place; you will guard me from trouble. You will surround me with the songs of victory. (Selah)

You - [are] a hiding place of me from distress you will preserve me shouts of deliverance; [surely] you will surround me (Selah)

8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go. I will instruct you with my eye upon you.

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.

9 Do not be like a horse or like a mule, which have no understanding; it is only with bridle and bit to control them that they will go where you want them to.

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.

10 The wicked have many sorrows, but Yahweh's covenant faithfulness will surround the one who trusts in him.

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

11 Be glad in Yahweh, and rejoice, you righteous; shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.

Rejoice in Yahweh and be glad O righteous [people] and shout for joy O all [people] upright of heart.
