Psalms 32
1 [A Psalm] of instruction by David. Blessed [are they] whose transgressions are forgiven, and who sins are covered.
Mazmur Daud. Nyanyian pengajaran. Berbahagialah orang yang dosanya diampuni, dan kesalahannya dimaafkan.
2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin, and whose mouth there is no guile.
Berbahagialah orang yang kejahatannya tidak diperhitungkan TUHAN, dan yang tidak suka menipu.
3 Because I kept silence, my bones waxed old, from my crying all the day.
Selama aku tidak mengakui dosaku, aku merana karena mengaduh sepanjang hari.
4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me: I became thoroughly miserable while a thorn was fastened in [me]. (Pause)
Siang malam Engkau menekan aku, TUHAN, tenagaku habis seperti diserap terik matahari.
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)
Lalu aku mengakui dosaku kepada-Mu, kesalahanku tak ada yang kusembunyikan. Aku memutuskan untuk mengakuinya kepada-Mu, dan Engkau mengampuni semua dosaku.
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.
Sebab itu setiap orang saleh hendaknya berdoa pada waktu mengalami kesesakan, sehingga kalau banjir kesusahan datang, ia tidak dilanda.
7 You are my refuge from the affliction that encompasses me; my joy, to deliver me from them that have compassed me. (Pause)
Engkaulah tempat persembunyianku, Kaubebaskan aku dari kesukaran. Maka aku bersorak gembira, sebab Engkau telah menyelamatkan aku.
8 I will instruct you and guide you in this way wherein you shall go: I will fix mine eyes upon you.
Kata TUHAN, "Aku akan menunjukkan jalan yang harus kautempuh, engkau akan Kubimbing dan Kunasihati.
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.
Jangan seperti kuda yang tidak berakal, yang harus dikendalikan dengan kekang dan tali supaya menurut."
10 Many are the scourges of the sinner: but him that hopes in the Lord mercy shall compass about.
Orang berdosa ditimpa banyak sengsara; tetapi orang yang berharap kepada TUHAN tetap dilindungi oleh kasih-Nya.
11 Be glad in the Lord, and exult, you righteous: and glory, all you that are upright in heart.
Hai orang-orang saleh, bergembiralah dan bersukacitalah karena apa yang telah dilakukan TUHAN. Bersoraklah gembira, hai semua orang yang tulus hati!
