Salmos 32

1 Feliz es aquel que tiene perdón por su maldad, y cuyo pecado está cubierto.

Those whom God has forgiven for rebelling against him, whose stains [MET] of sin have been wiped away, are truly blessed [by God]!

2 Feliz es el hombre en quien el Señor no ve el mal, y en cuyo espíritu no hay engaño.

Those whose record of their sins Yahweh has erased, those who no longer do deceitful things, are [truly] blessed [by God]!

3 Cuando mantuve mi boca cerrada, mis huesos se decayeron, debido a mi llanto durante todo el día.

When I did not confess my sins, (my body/I) was very weak and sick, and I groaned (all day long/continually).

4 Porque el peso de tu mano estuvo sobre mí día y noche; mi cuerpo se secó como la tierra en verano. (Selah)

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 Te confesé mi maldad y no guardé mi pecado. Dije: lo pondré todo ante el Señor; y tú perdonaste mi maldad y mi pecado. (Selah)

[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 Por lo cual, cada santo orara a ti en el tiempo que estés cerca; y el diluvio de las grandes aguas no alcanzará a él.

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 Eres mi lugar seguro y secreto; me mantendrás alejado de problemas; pondrás canciones de salvación en los labios de aquellos que están a mi alrededor. (Selah)

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 Te daré conocimiento, enseñándote el camino a seguir; sobre ti fijaré mis ojos.

[Yahweh says], “I will teach you about how you should conduct your life. I will instruct you and watch over you.

9 No seas como el caballo o el asno, sin sentido;

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 El pecador estará lleno de problemas; pero la misericordia será alrededor del hombre que tiene fe en el Señor.

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 Alégrense en el Señor con alegría, ustedes hombres buenos y rectos de corazón; dar gritos de alegría, todos ustedes cuyos corazones son rectos.

[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!
