Psalms 32

New American Bible	Douai-Rheims
¹ Of David. A maskil. Happy the sinner whose fault is removed, whose sin is forgiven.	¹ To David himself, understanding. Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
² Happy those to whom the LORD imputes no guilt, in whose spirit is no deceit.	² Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
³ As long as I kept silent, my bones wasted away; I groaned all the day.	³ Because I was silent my bones grew old; whilst I cried out all the day long.
⁴ For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength withered as in dry summer heat. Selah	⁴ For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: I am turned in my anguish, whilst the thorn is fastened.
⁵ Then I declared my sin to you; my guilt I did not hide. I said, "I confess my faults to the LORD," and you took away the guilt of my sin. Selah	⁵ I have acknowledged my sin to thee, and my injustice I have not concealed. I said I will confess against myself my injustice to the Lord: and thou hast forgiven the wickedness of my sin.
⁶ Thus should all your faithful pray in time of distress. Though flood waters threaten, they will never reach them.	⁶ For this shall every one that is holy pray to thee in a seasonable time. And yet in a flood of many waters, they shall not come nigh unto him.
⁷ You are my shelter; from distress you keep me; with safety you ring me round. Selah	⁷ Thou art my refuge from the trouble which hath encompassed me: my joy, deliver me from them that surround me.
⁸ I will instruct you and show you the way you should walk, give you counsel and watch over you.	⁸ I will give thee understanding, and I will instruct thee in this way, in which thou shalt go: I will fix my eyes upon thee.
⁹ Do not be senseless like horses or mules; with bit and bridle their temper is curbed, else they will not come to you.	⁹ Do not become like the horse and the mule, who have no understanding. With bit and bridle bind fast their jaws, who come not near unto thee.
¹⁰ Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but love surrounds those who trust in the LORD.	¹⁰ Many are the scourges of the sinner, but mercy shall encompass him that hopeth in the Lord.
¹¹ Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you just; exult, all you upright of heart.	¹¹ Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye just, and glory, all ye right of heart.
