Psalms 32

1 Of David a poem how blessed! [is one who] is forgiven of transgression [is one who] is covered of sin.

A psalm of David. A maschil. Blessed is the person whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

2 How blessed! [is] a person [whom] not he reckons Yahweh to him iniquity and there not in spirit his [is] deceit.

Blessed is the man to whom Yahweh reckons no guilt and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

3 If I kept silent they became worn out bones my in cry of distress my all the day.

When I remained silent, my bones were wasting away while I groaned all day long.

4 For - by day and night it was heavy on me hand your it was changed juice my by [the] dry heat of summer (Selah)

For day and night your hand was heavy upon me. My strength withered as in summer drought. (Selah)

5 Sin my I made known to you and iniquity my not I covered I said I will confess on transgressions my to Yahweh and you you forgave [the] guilt of sin my (Selah)

Then I acknowledged my sin to you, and I no longer hid my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh,” and you forgave the guilt of my sin. (Selah)

6 On this let him pray every faithful [person] - to you to a time of finding certainly to a flood of waters many to him not they will reach.

Because of this, all who are godly should pray to you at a time of great distress. Then when the surging waters overflow, they will not reach those people.

7 You - [are] a hiding place of me from distress you will preserve me shouts of deliverance; [surely] you will surround me (Selah)

You are my hiding place; you will guard me from trouble. You will surround me with the songs of victory. (Selah)

8 I will instruct you - and I will teach you [the] way which you will go I will counsel [you] [will be] on you eye my.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go. I will instruct you with my eye upon you.

9 May not you be - like a horse like a mule [which] there not [is] understanding with bridle and halter trapping[s] its to restrain not to draw near to you.

Do not be like a horse or like a mule, which have no understanding; it is only with bridle and bit to control them that they will go where you want them to.

10 Many pains [belong] to wicked [person] and the [one who] trusts in Yahweh covenant loyalty it will surround him.

The wicked have many sorrows, but Yahweh's covenant faithfulness will surround the one who trusts in him.

11 Rejoice in Yahweh and be glad O righteous [people] and shout for joy O all [people] upright of heart.

Be glad in Yahweh, and rejoice, you righteous; shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.
