Psalmorum 32
1 Psalmus David, intelligentia. Beati, quorum remissae sunt iniquitates: et quorum tecta sunt peccata.
David’s An Instructive Psalm. How 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.
How happy the son of earth, to whom Yahweh will not reckon iniquity! and in whose spirit is no guile!
3 Quoniam tacui, inveteraverunt ossa mea, dum clamarem tota die.
When I kept silence, my bones became worn out, Through my groaning all the day;
4 Quoniam die ac nocte gravata est super me manus tua: conversus sum in aerumna mea, dum configitur spina.
For, day and night, heavy upon me, was thy hand, —Changed was my life-sap into the drought 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, would I own unto thee, and, mine iniquity, not hide, I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Yahweh, And, thou, didst forgive 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 cause, will every man of lovingkindness pray unto thee, in time to obtain, —Surely, in the overflow of many waters, unto him, shall they not reach.
7 Tu es refugium meum a tribulatione, quae circumdedit me: exultatio mea erue me a circumdantibus me.
Thou, art a hiding-place for me, From distress, wilt thou preserve me, —With shouts of deliverance, wilt thou compass me about. (Selah)
8 Intellectum tibi dabo, et instruam te in via hac, qua gradieris: firmabo super te oculos meos.
I will make thee discreet, I will point out to thee the way which thou must go, I will fix upon thee mine eye.
9 Nolite fieri sicut equus et mulus, quibus non est intellectus. In camo et freno maxillas eorum constringe, qui non approximant ad te.
Do not ye become like a horse, like a mule, without discernment, —With the bit and bridle of his mouth, [hast thou] to restrain him, —He will not come near unto thee.
10 Multa flagella peccatoris, sperantem autem in Domino misericordia circumdabit.
Many pains, hath the lawless one, —But, he that trusteth in Yahweh, Lovingkindness, shall compass him about.
11 Laetamini in Domino et exultate iusti, et gloriamini omnes recti corde.
Rejoice in Yahweh and exult, O ye righteous, Yea, shout in triumph, all ye upright in heart!
