Psalm 32
1 Selig der, dem Übertretungen verziehen sind, dem die Sünde ist bedeckt.
Those whom God has forgiven for rebelling against him, whose stains [MET] of sin have been wiped away, are truly blessed [by God]!
2 Selig der Mensch, dem Jehovah die Missetat nicht zurechnet, und in dessen Geist kein Trug 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 stille schwieg, alterten meine Gebeine bei meinem Stöhnen den ganzen Tag.
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 bei Tag und bei Nacht schwer auf mir, verwandelt ward mein Saft wie in des Sommers Dürre. (Selah)
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 Ich tat Dir meine Sünde kund und bedeckte nicht meine Missetat. Ich sprach: Ich will Jehovah wegen meiner Übertretung bekennen, und Du verziehest die Missetat meiner Sünde. (Selah)
[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 Darum soll beten zu Dir jeder Heilige zur Zeit des Findens. Ja bei der Überflutung vieler Wasser werden sie ihn nicht berühren.
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, bewahrst vor Drangsal mich, mit Lobpreisung der Befreiung umgibst Du mich, (Selah)
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 mache dich verständig und weise dir den Weg, den du gehen sollst. Ich will dir raten mit Meinem Auge über dir.
[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 das Roß, wie das Maultier ohne Einsicht, denen man mit Zaum und Gebiß ihren Mund muß bändigen, wenn sie dir nicht nahen 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 Viel Schmerzen hat der Ungerechte; wer aber auf Jehovah traut, den umgibt Barmherzigkeit.
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 Seid fröhlich in Jehovah und frohlocket, ihr Gerechten, und lobpreiset, alle, die geraden Herzens sind.
[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!
