Psalmorum 32
1 huic David intellectus beati quorum remissae sunt iniquitates et quorum tecta sunt peccata
“A psalm of David.” Happy is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is pardoned!
2 beatus vir cui non inputabit Dominus peccatum nec est in spiritu eius dolus
Happy the man to whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no guile!
3 quoniam tacui inveteraverunt ossa mea dum clamarem tota die
While I kept silence, my bones were wasted, By reason of my groaning all the 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 thy hand was heavy upon me; My moisture dried up, as in summer's drought.
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
At length I acknowledged to thee my sin, And did not hide my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgression to the LORD;” And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin! (Pause)
6 pro hac orabit ad te omnis sanctus in tempore oportuno verumtamen in diluvio aquarum multarum ad eum non adproximabunt
Therefore shall every pious man pray to thee, while thou mayst be found; Surely the floods of great waters shall not come near him.
7 tu es refugium meum a tribulatione quae circumdedit me exultatio mea erue me a circumdantibus me diapsalma
Thou art my hiding-place; thou preservest me from trouble; Thou compassest me about with songs of deliverance. (Pause)
8 intellectum tibi dabo et instruam te in via hac qua gradieris firmabo super te oculos meos
I will instruct thee, and show thee the way thou shouldst go; I will give thee counsel, and keep mine eye upon thee.
9 nolite fieri sicut equus et mulus quibus non est intellectus in camo et freno maxillas eorum constringe qui non adproximant ad te
Be ye not like the horse and the mule, which have no understanding, Whose mouths must be pressed with the bridle and curb, Because they will not come near thee!
10 multa flagella peccatoris sperantem autem in Domino misericordia circumdabit
The wicked hath many sorrows; But he that trusteth in the LORD is encompassed with mercies.
11 laetamini in Domino et exultate iusti et gloriamini omnes recti corde
Rejoice in the LORD, and be glad, ye righteous; Shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart!
