Psalms 32

1 [A Psalm] of instruction by David. Blessed [are they] whose transgressions are forgiven, and who sins are covered.

大衛的訓誨詩。 得赦免其過、遮蓋其罪的， 這人是有福的！

2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin, and whose mouth there is no guile.

凡心裏沒有詭詐、耶和華不算為有罪的， 這人是有福的！

3 Because I kept silence, my bones waxed old, from my crying all the day.

我閉口不認罪的時候， 因終日唉哼而骨頭枯乾。

4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me: I became thoroughly miserable while a thorn was fastened in [me]. (Pause)

黑夜白日，你的手在我身上沉重； 我的精液耗盡，如同夏天的乾旱。 (細拉)

5 I acknowledged my sin, and hid not mine iniquity: I said, I will confess mine iniquity to the Lord against myself; and you forgave the ungodliness of my heart. (Pause)

我向你陳明我的罪， 不隱瞞我的惡。 我說：我要向耶和華承認我的過犯， 你就赦免我的罪惡。 (細拉)

6 Therefore shall every holy one pray to you in a fit time: only in the deluge of many waters they shall not come near to him.

為此，凡虔誠人都當趁你可尋找的時候禱告你； 大水泛溢的時候，必不能到他那裏。

7 You are my refuge from the affliction that encompasses me; my joy, to deliver me from them that have compassed me. (Pause)

你是我藏身之處； 你必保佑我脫離苦難， 以得救的樂歌四面環繞我。 (細拉)

8 I will instruct you and guide you in this way wherein you shall go: I will fix mine eyes upon you.

我要教導你，指示你當行的路； 我要定睛在你身上勸戒你。

9 Be you not as horse and mule, which have no understanding; [but you must] constrain their jaws with bit and curb, lest they should come near to you.

你不可像那無知的騾馬， 必用嚼環轡頭勒住牠； 不然，就不能馴服。

10 Many are the scourges of the sinner: but him that hopes in the Lord mercy shall compass about.

惡人必多受苦楚； 惟獨倚靠耶和華的必有慈愛四面環繞他。

11 Be glad in the Lord, and exult, you righteous: and glory, all you that are upright in heart.

你們義人應當靠耶和華歡喜快樂； 你們心裏正直的人都當歡呼。
