Psalms, 32
Of David. Masʹkil.*1
1 Happy is the one whose revolt is pardoned, whose sin is covered.
2 Happy is the man*1 to whose account Jehovah does not put error, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.

3 When I kept silent my bones wore out through my groaning*1 all day long.
|
4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me. My life’s moisture has been changed as in the dry heat of summer. Seʹlah.
5 My sin I finally confessed to you, and my error I did not cover. I said: “I shall make confession over my transgressions to Jehovah.” And you yourself pardoned the error of my sins. Seʹlah.
6 On this account every loyal one will pray to you At such a time only as you may be found. As for the flood of many waters, they will not touch him himself.
7 You are a place of concealment for me; you will safeguard me from distress itself. With joyful cries at providing escape you will surround me. Seʹlah.
8 “I shall make you have insight and instruct you in the way you should go. I will give advice with my eye upon you.*1
|
9 Do not make yourselves like a horse or mule without understanding, Whose spiritedness is to be curbed even by bridle or halter Before [they] will come near*1 to you.”
|
10 Many are the pains that the wicked one has; But as for the one trusting in Jehovah,*1 loving-kindness*2 itself surrounds him.
|
11 Rejoice in Jehovah*1 and be joyful, YOU righteous ones; And cry out joyfully, all YOU who are upright in heart.
