Psalms 32
1 A psalm of David. A maschil. Blessed is the person whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
Psalmus David, intelligentia. Beati, quorum remissae sunt iniquitates: et quorum tecta sunt peccata.
2 Blessed is the man to whom Yahweh reckons no guilt and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
Beatus vir, cui non imputavit Dominus peccatum, nec est in spiritu eius dolus.
3 When I remained silent, my bones were wasting away while I groaned all day long.
Quoniam tacui, inveteraverunt ossa mea, dum clamarem tota die.
4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me. My strength withered as in summer drought. (Selah)
Quoniam die ac nocte gravata est super me manus tua: conversus sum in aerumna mea, dum configitur spina.
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)
Delictum meum cognitum tibi feci: et iniustitiam meam non abscondi. Dixi: Confitebor adversum me iniustitiam meam Domino: et tu remisisti impietatem peccati mei.
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.
Pro hac orabit ad te omnis sanctus, in tempore opportuno. Verumtamen in diluvio aquarum multarum, ad eum non approximabunt.
7 You are my hiding place; you will guard me from trouble. You will surround me with the songs of victory. (Selah)
Tu es refugium meum a tribulatione, quae circumdedit me: exultatio mea erue me a circumdantibus me.
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go. I will instruct you with my eye upon you.
Intellectum tibi dabo, et instruam te in via hac, qua gradieris: firmabo super te oculos meos.
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.
Nolite fieri sicut equus et mulus, quibus non est intellectus. In camo et freno maxillas eorum constringe, qui non approximant ad te.
10 The wicked have many sorrows, but Yahweh's covenant faithfulness will surround the one who trusts in him.
Multa flagella peccatoris, sperantem autem in Domino misericordia circumdabit.
11 Be glad in Yahweh, and rejoice, you righteous; shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.
Laetamini in Domino et exultate iusti, et gloriamini omnes recti corde.
