Psalms 32

New Jerusalem Bible	King James Bible
¹ [Of David Poem] How blessed are those whose offence is forgiven, whose sin blotted out.	¹ Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
² How blessed are those to whom Yahweh imputes no guilt, whose spirit harbours no deceit.	² Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
³ I said not a word, but my bones wasted away from groaning al the day;	³ When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
⁴ day and night your hand lay heavy upon me; my heart grew parched as stubble in summerdrought.Pause	⁴ For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
⁵ I made my sin known to you, did not conceal my guilt. I said, 'I shal confess my offence to Yahweh.'And you, for your part, took away my guilt, forgave my sin.Pause	⁵ I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
⁶ That is why each of your faithful ones prays to you in time of distress. Even if great floods overflow,they will never reach your faithful.	⁶ For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.
⁷ You are a refuge for me, you guard me in trouble, with songs of deliverance you surround me.Pause	⁷ Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
⁸ I shal instruct you and teach you the way to go; I shall not take my eyes off you.	⁸ I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
⁹ Be not like a horse or a mule; that does not understand bridle or bit; if you advance to master them,there is no means of bringing them near.	⁹ Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.
¹⁰ Countless troubles are in store for the wicked, but one who trusts in Yahweh is enfolded in his faithfullove.	¹⁰ Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
¹¹ Rejoice in Yahweh, exult al you upright, shout for joy, you honest of heart.	¹¹ Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
