Psalms 32
|
Of David. Maschil. Happy is he who has forgiveness for his wrongdoing, and whose sin is covered. | [A Psalm] of David. Maschil. Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered. |
Happy is the man in whom the Lord sees no evil, and in whose spirit there is no deceit. | Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no guile. |
When I kept my mouth shut, my bones were wasted, because of my crying all through the day. | When I kept silence, my bones wasted away Through my groaning all the day long. |
For the weight of your hand was on me day and night; my body became dry like the earth in summer. (Selah.) | For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: My moisture was changed [as] with the drought of summer. Selah |
I made my wrongdoing clear to you, and did not keep back my sin. I said, I will put it all before the Lord; and you took away my wrongdoing and my sin. (Selah.) | I acknowledged my sin unto thee, And mine iniquity did I not hide: I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah; And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah |
For this cause let every saint make his prayer to you at a time when you are near: then the overflowing of the great waters will not overtake him. | For this let every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach unto him. |
You are my safe and secret place; you will keep me from trouble; you will put songs of salvation on the lips of those who are round me. (Selah.) | Thou art my hiding-place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble; Thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah |
I will give you knowledge, teaching you the way to go; my eye will be your guide. | I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee. |
Do not be like the horse or the ass, without sense; ... | Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding; Whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in, [Else] they will not come near unto thee. |
The sinner will be full of trouble; but mercy will be round the man who has faith in the Lord. | Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; But he that trusteth in Jehovah, lovingkindness shall compass him about. |
Be glad in the Lord with joy, you upright men; give cries of joy, all you whose hearts are true. | Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous; And shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart. |
