Psalmorum 32

1 Ipsi David intellectus. Beati quorum remissæ sunt iniquitates, et quorum tecta sunt peccata.

[A Psalm] of David. Maschil. Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered.

2 Beatus vir cui non imputavit Dominus peccatum, nec est in spiritu ejus dolus.

Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no guile.

3 Quoniam tacui, inveteraverunt ossa mea, dum clamarem tota die.

When I kept silence, my bones wasted away Through my groaning all the day long.

4 Quoniam die ac nocte gravata est super me manus tua, conversus sum in ærumna mea, dum configitur spina.

For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: My moisture was changed [as] with the drought of summer. (Selah)

5 Delictum meum cognitum tibi feci, et injustitiam meam non abscondi. Dixi: Confitebor adversum me injustitiam meam Domino; et tu remisisti impietatem peccati mei.

I acknowledged my sin unto thee, And mine iniquity did I not hide: I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah; And thou forgavest 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 let every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach unto him.

7 Tu es refugium meum a tribulatione quæ circumdedit me; exsultatio mea, erue me a circumdantibus me.

Thou art my hiding-place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble; Thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance. (Selah)

8 Intellectum tibi dabo, et instruam te in via hac qua gradieris; firmabo super te oculos meos.

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will counsel thee with mine eye upon 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 the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding; Whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in, [Else] they will not come near unto thee.

10 Multa flagella peccatoris; sperantem autem in Domino misericordia circumdabit.

Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; But he that trusteth in Jehovah, lovingkindness shall compass him about.

11 Lætamini in Domino, et exsultate, justi; et gloriamini, omnes recti corde.

Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous; And shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
