תְהִלִּים 32

1 לְדָוִ֗ד מַ֫שְׂכִּ֥יל אַשְׁרֵ֥י נְֽשׂוּי־פֶּ֗שַׁע כְּס֣וּי חֲטָאָֽה׃

Of David. A Maskil. Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.

2 אַ֥שְֽׁרֵי אָדָ֗ם לֹ֤א יַחְשֹׁ֬ב יְהוָ֣ה לֹ֣ו עָוֹ֑ן וְאֵ֖ין בְּרוּחֹ֣ו רְמִיָּה׃

Blessed is the man whose iniquity the LORD does not count against him, in whose spirit there is no deceit.

3 כִּֽי־הֶ֭חֱרַשְׁתִּי בָּל֣וּ עֲצָמָ֑י בְּ֝שַׁאֲגָתִ֗י כָּל־הַיֹּֽום׃

When I kept silent, my bones became brittle from my groaning all day long.

4 כִּ֤י ׀ יֹומָ֣ם וָלַיְלָה֮ תִּכְבַּ֥ד עָלַ֗י יָ֫דֶ֥ךָ נֶהְפַּ֥ךְ לְשַׁדִּ֑י בְּחַרְבֹ֖נֵי קַ֣יִץ סֶֽלָה׃

For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was drained as in the summer heat.

5 חַטָּאתִ֨י אֹודִ֪יעֲךָ֡ וַעֲוֹ֘נִ֤י לֹֽא־כִסִּ֗יתִי אָמַ֗רְתִּי אֹודֶ֤ה עֲלֵ֣י פְ֭שָׁעַי לַיהוָ֑ה וְאַתָּ֨ה נָ֘שָׂ֤אתָ עֲוֹ֖ן חַטָּאתִ֣י סֶֽלָה׃

Then I acknowledged my sin to You and did not hide my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” and You forgave the guilt of my sin.

6 עַל־זֹ֡את יִתְפַּלֵּ֬ל כָּל־חָסִ֨יד ׀ אֵלֶיךָ֮ לְעֵ֪ת מְ֫צֹ֥א רַ֗ק לְ֭שֵׁטֶף מַ֣יִם רַבִּ֑ים אֵ֝לָ֗יו לֹ֣א יַגִּֽיעוּ׃

Therefore let all the godly pray to You while You may be found. Surely when great waters rise, they will not come near.

7 אַתָּ֤ה ׀ סֵ֥תֶר לִי֮ מִצַּ֪ר תִּ֫צְּרֵ֥נִי רָנֵּ֥י פַלֵּ֑ט תְּסֹ֖ובְבֵ֣נִי סֶֽלָה׃

You are my hiding place. You protect me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance.

8 אַשְׂכִּֽילְךָ֨ ׀ וְֽאֹורְךָ֗ בְּדֶֽרֶךְ־ז֥וּ תֵלֵ֑ךְ אִֽיעֲצָ֖ה עָלֶ֣יךָ עֵינִֽי׃

I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will give you counsel and watch over you.

9 אַל־תִּֽהְי֤וּ ׀ כְּס֥וּס כְּפֶרֶד֮ אֵ֤ין הָ֫בִ֥ין בְּמֶֽתֶג־וָרֶ֣סֶן עֶדְיֹ֣ו לִבְלֹ֑ום בַּ֝֗ל קְרֹ֣ב אֵלֶֽיךָ׃

Do not be like the horse or mule, which have no understanding; they must be controlled with bit and bridle to make them come to you.

10 רַבִּ֥ים מַכְאֹובִ֗ים לָרָ֫שָׁ֥ע וְהַבֹּוטֵ֥חַ בַּיהוָ֑ה חֶ֝֗סֶד יְסֹובְבֶֽנּוּ׃

Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but loving devotion surrounds him who trusts in the LORD.

11 שִׂמְח֬וּ בַֽיהוָ֣ה וְ֭גִילוּ צַדִּיקִ֑ים וְ֝הַרְנִ֗ינוּ כָּל־יִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽב׃

Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, O righteous ones; shout for joy, all you upright in heart.
