| Chapter 32 |
1 |
By David. -- An Instruction. O the happiness of him whose transgression [is] forgiven, Whose sin is covered.
|
2 |
O the happiness of a man, To whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.
|
3 |
When I have kept silence, become old have my bones, Through my roaring all the day.
|
4 |
When by day and by night Thy hand is heavy upon me, My moisture hath been changed Into the droughts of summer. Selah.
|
5 |
My sin I cause Thee to know, And mine iniquity I have not covered. I have said, 'I confess concerning My transgressions to Jehovah,' And Thou -- Thou hast taken away, The iniquity of my sin. Selah.
|
6 |
For this doth every saintly one pray to Thee, As the time to find. Surely at an overflowing of many waters, Unto him they come not.
|
7 |
Thou [art] a hiding-place for me, From distress Thou dost keep me, [With] songs of deliverance dost compass me. Selah.
|
8 |
I cause thee to act wisely, And direct thee in the way that thou goest, I cause mine eye to take counsel concerning thee.
|
9 |
Be ye not as a horse -- as a mule, Without understanding, With bridle and bit, its ornaments, to curb, Not to come near unto thee.
|
10 |
Many [are] the pains of the wicked; As to him who is trusting in Jehovah, Kindness doth compass him.
|
11 |
Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous, And sing, all ye upright of heart!
