Psalmorum 32
1 Ipsi David intellectus. Beati quorum remissæ sunt iniquitates, et quorum tecta sunt peccata.
A psalm of David. How happy are those whose wrongs are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
2 Beatus vir cui non imputavit Dominus peccatum, nec est in spiritu ejus dolus.
How happy are those whose sins the Lord does not count against them, those who do not act deceptively.
3 Quoniam tacui, inveteraverunt ossa mea, dum clamarem tota die.
When I kept quiet, my body fell apart as I groaned in distress all day long.
4 Quoniam die ac nocte gravata est super me manus tua, conversus sum in ærumna mea, dum configitur spina.
You beat me day and night, my strength dried up as in the heat 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.
Then I confessed my sins to you. I did not hide the wrongs I had done. I said to myself, “I will confess my disobedience to the Lord,” and you forgave the guilt of my sins. (Selah)
6 Pro hac orabit ad te omnis sanctus in tempore opportuno. Verumtamen in diluvio aquarum multarum, ad eum non approximabunt.
Therefore let all who are faithful pray to you while there's time, so when trouble comes in like a flood it will not overwhelm them.
7 Tu es refugium meum a tribulatione quæ circumdedit me; exsultatio mea, erue me a circumdantibus me.
For you are my refuge, you protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of salvation. (Selah)
8 Intellectum tibi dabo, et instruam te in via hac qua gradieris; firmabo super te oculos meos.
“I will instruct you, teaching you the way to follow. I will advise you, watching out for you.
9 Nolite fieri sicut equus et mulus, quibus non est intellectus. In camo et freno maxillas eorum constringe, qui non approximant ad te.
You mustn't be like a horse or a mule that doesn't know which way to go without a bit or a bridle. Otherwise they can't be controlled.”
10 Multa flagella peccatoris; sperantem autem in Domino misericordia circumdabit.
The wicked have many problems, but those who trust in the Lord will be surrounded by his never-failing love.
11 Lætamini in Domino, et exsultate, justi; et gloriamini, omnes recti corde.
So be happy in the Lord and celebrate, you who do good. Shout for joy, all you who live right!
