Psalmorum 32
1 Ipsi David intellectus. Beati, quorum remissæ sunt iniquitates: et quorum tecta sunt peccata.
By David. — An Instruction. O the happiness of him whose transgression [is] forgiven, Whose sin is covered.
2 Beatus vir, cui non imputavit Dominus peccatum, nec est in spiritu eius dolus.
O the happiness of a man, To whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 Quoniam tacui, inveteraverunt ossa mea, dum clamarem tota die.
When I have kept silence, become old have my bones, Through my roaring all the day.
4 Quoniam die ac nocte gravata est super me manus tua: conversus sum in ærumna mea, dum configitur spina.
When by day and by night Thy hand is heavy upon me, My moisture hath been changed Into the droughts of summer. (Selah)
5 Delictum meum cognitum tibi feci: et iniustitiam meam non abscondi. Dixi: Confitebor adversum me iniustitiam meam Domino: et tu remisisti impietatem peccati mei.
My sin I cause Thee to know, And mine iniquity I have not covered. I have said, 'I confess concerning My transgressions to Jehovah,' And Thou — Thou hast taken away, The iniquity of my sin. (Selah)
6 Pro hac orabit ad te omnis sanctus, in tempore opportuno. Verumtamen in diluvio aquarum multarum, ad eum non approximabunt.
For this doth every saintly one pray to Thee, As the time to find. Surely at an overflowing of many waters, Unto him they come not.
7 Tu es refugium meum a tribulatione, quæ circumdedit me: exultatio mea erue me a circumdantibus me.
Thou [art] a hiding-place for me, From distress Thou dost keep me, [With] songs of deliverance dost compass me. (Selah)
8 Intellectum tibi dabo, et instruam te in via hac, qua gradieris: firmabo super te oculos meos.
I cause thee to act wisely, And direct thee in the way that thou goest, I cause mine eye to take counsel concerning thee.
9 Nolite fieri sicut equus et mulus, quibus non est intellectus. In camo et freno maxillas eorum constringe, qui non approximant ad te.
Be ye not as a horse — as a mule, Without understanding, With bridle and bit, its ornaments, to curb, Not to come near unto thee.
10 Multa flagella peccatoris, sperantem autem in Domino misericordia circumdabit.
Many [are] the pains of the wicked; As to him who is trusting in Jehovah, Kindness doth compass him.
11 Lætamini in Domino et exultate iusti, et gloriamini omnes recti corde.
Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous, And sing, all ye upright of heart!
