Psalm 32
1 Eine Unterweisung Davids. Wohl dem, dem die Übertretungen vergeben sind, dem die Sünde bedecket ist!
Those whom God has forgiven for rebelling against him, whose stains [MET] of sin have been wiped away, are truly blessed [by God]!
2 Wohl dem Menschen, dem der HERR die Missetat nicht zurechnet, in des Geist kein Falsch ist!
Those whose record of their sins Yahweh has erased, those who no longer do deceitful things, are [truly] blessed [by God]!
3 Denn da ich's wollte verschweigen, verschmachteten meine Gebeine durch mein täglich Heulen.
When I did not confess my sins, (my body/I) was very weak and sick, and I groaned (all day long/continually).
4 Denn deine Hand war Tag und Nacht schwer auf mir, daß mein Saft vertrocknete, wie es im Sommer dürre wird. (Sela)
Day and night, [Yahweh], you [SYN] punished me severely. My strength drained away like [water that] ([evaporates/dries up]) on a hot summer [day].
5 Darum bekenne ich dir meine Sünde und verhehle meine Missetat nicht. Ich sprach: Ich will dem HERRN meine Übertretung bekennen. Da vergabest du mir die Missetat meiner Sünde. (Sela)
[Then/Finally] I admitted/confessed my sins to you; I stopped trying to hide them. (Think about that!) I said [to myself], “I will confess to Yahweh the wrong things that I have done.” And [when I confessed them], you forgave me, so now I (am no longer guilty/will no longer be punished) for my sins.
6 Dafür werden dich alle Heiligen bitten zur rechten Zeit; darum, wenn große Wasserfluten kommen, werden sie nicht an dieselbigen gelangen.
Therefore, the people who are godly should pray to you [when they] (realize that they have sinned/have difficulties). If they pray to you, [difficulties] [MET] will not overwhelm them [like] a great flood.
7 Du bist mein Schirm; du wollest mich vor Angst behüten, daß ich errettet, ganz fröhlich rühmen könnte. (Sela)
You are [like] a place where I can hide [from my enemies] [MET], you protect me from troubles, and you (enable me/[put people around me who will enable me]) to shout, praising you for saving me [from my enemies].
8 Ich will dich unterweisen und dir den Weg zeigen, den du wandeln sollst; ich will dich mit meinen Augen leiten.
[Yahweh says], “I will teach you about how you should conduct your life. I will instruct you and watch over you.
9 Seid nicht wie Rosse und Mäuler, die nicht verständig sind, welchen man Zaum und Gebiß muß ins Maul legen, wenn sie nicht zu dir wollen.
Do not be stupid like horses and mules that do not have understanding; they need (bits/pieces of metal put in their mouths) and (bridles/ropes fastened to their head) so they will go in the direction you want them to go.”
10 Der Gottlose hat viel Plage; wer aber auf den HERRN hoffet, den wird die Güte umfahen.
Wicked people will have many [troubles that will make them] sad, but those who trust in Yahweh will experience him faithfully loving them all the time.
11 Freuet euch des HERRN und seid fröhlich, ihr Gerechten, und rühmet, alle ihr Frommen!
[So, all] you righteous people, rejoice about what Yahweh [has done for you]; you whose (inner beings/lives) are pure, be glad and shout joyfully!
