Psalmorum 32
1 Psalmus David, intelligentia. Beati, quorum remissae sunt iniquitates: et quorum tecta sunt peccata.
A Psalm of David. Maschil. Happy is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is pardoned.
2 Beatus vir, cui non imputavit Dominus peccatum, nec est in spiritu eius dolus.
Happy is the man unto whom the LORD counteth 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 wore away through my groaning all the day long.
4 Quoniam die ac nocte gravata est super me manus tua: conversus sum in aerumna mea, dum configitur spina.
For day and night Thy hand was heavy upon me; my sap was turned as in 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.
I acknowledged my sin unto Thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid; I said: 'I will make confession concerning my transgressions unto the LORD' — and Thou, 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 will not reach unto him.
7 Tu es refugium meum a tribulatione, quae circumdedit me: exultatio mea erue me a circumdantibus me.
Thou art my hiding-place; Thou wilt preserve me from the adversary; with songs of deliverance Thou wilt compass me about. (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 give counsel, Mine eye being 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 mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, that they come not near unto thee.
10 Multa flagella peccatoris, sperantem autem in Domino misericordia circumdabit.
Many are the sorrows of the wicked; but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy compasseth him about.
11 Laetamini in Domino et exultate iusti, et gloriamini omnes recti corde.
Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous; and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
