Psalmorum 32

1 huic David intellectus beati quorum remissae sunt iniquitates et quorum tecta sunt peccata

[By David. A contemplative psalm.] Happy are those whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

2 beatus vir cui non inputabit Dominus peccatum nec est in spiritu eius dolus

Happy is the one to whom YHWH does not charge with sin, in whose spirit there is no deceit.

3 quoniam tacui inveteraverunt ossa mea dum clamarem tota die

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

4 quoniam die ac nocte gravata est super me manus tua conversus sum in aerumna mea; dum configitur mihi spina diapsalma

For day and night your hand was heavy on me to my destruction in the heat of summer. (Selah)

5 delictum meum cognitum tibi; feci et iniustitiam meam non abscondi dixi confitebor adversus me iniustitiam meam Domino et tu remisisti impietatem peccati mei diapsalma

I acknowledged my sin to you. I did not hide my iniquity. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to YHWH," and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)

6 pro hac orabit ad te omnis sanctus in tempore oportuno verumtamen in diluvio aquarum multarum ad eum non adproximabunt

For this, let everyone who is faithful pray to you in a time when you may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him.

7 tu es refugium meum a tribulatione quae circumdedit me exultatio mea erue me a circumdantibus me diapsalma

You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me 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 you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.

9 nolite fieri sicut equus et mulus quibus non est intellectus in camo et freno maxillas eorum constringe qui non adproximant ad te

Do not be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding, who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you.

10 multa flagella peccatoris sperantem autem in Domino misericordia circumdabit

Many sorrows come to the wicked, but loving kindness shall surround him who trusts in YHWH.

11 laetamini in Domino et exultate iusti et gloriamini omnes recti corde

Be glad in YHWH, and rejoice, you righteous. Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.
