< Psalmorum 32 >
1 huic David intellectus beati quorum remissae sunt iniquitates et quorum tecta sunt peccata
Those whom God has forgiven for rebelling against him, whose stains [MET] of sin have been wiped away, are truly blessed [by God]!
2 beatus vir cui non inputabit Dominus peccatum nec est in spiritu eius dolus
Those whose record of their sins Yahweh has erased, those who no longer do deceitful things, are [truly] blessed [by God]!
3 quoniam tacui inveteraverunt ossa mea dum clamarem tota die
When I did not confess my sins, (my body/I) was very weak and sick, and I groaned (all day long/continually).
4 quoniam die ac nocte gravata est super me manus tua conversus sum in aerumna mea; dum configitur mihi spina diapsalma
Day and night, [Yahweh], you [SYN] punished me severely. My strength drained away like [water that] ([evaporates/dries up]) on a hot summer [day].
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
[Then/Finally] I admitted/confessed my sins to you; I stopped trying to hide them. (Think about that!) I said [to myself], “I will confess to Yahweh the wrong things that I have done.” And [when I confessed them], you forgave me, so now I (am no longer guilty/will no longer be punished) for my sins.
6 pro hac orabit ad te omnis sanctus in tempore oportuno verumtamen in diluvio aquarum multarum ad eum non adproximabunt
Therefore, the people who are godly should pray to you [when they] (realize that they have sinned/have difficulties). If they pray to you, [difficulties] [MET] will not overwhelm them [like] a great flood.
7 tu es refugium meum a tribulatione quae circumdedit me exultatio mea erue me a circumdantibus me diapsalma
You are [like] a place where I can hide [from my enemies] [MET], you protect me from troubles, and you (enable me/[put people around me who will enable me]) to shout, praising you for saving me [from my enemies].
8 intellectum tibi dabo et instruam te in via hac qua gradieris firmabo super te oculos meos
[Yahweh says], “I will teach you about how you should conduct your life. I will instruct you and watch over 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 stupid like horses and mules that do not have understanding; they need (bits/pieces of metal put in their mouths) and (bridles/ropes fastened to their head) so they will go in the direction you want them to go.”
10 multa flagella peccatoris sperantem autem in Domino misericordia circumdabit
Wicked people will have many [troubles that will make them] sad, but those who trust in Yahweh will experience him faithfully loving them all the time.
11 laetamini in Domino et exultate iusti et gloriamini omnes recti corde
[So, all] you righteous people, rejoice about what Yahweh [has done for you]; you whose (inner beings/lives) are pure, be glad and shout joyfully!
