Blessed Are the Forgiven

A Maskil[a] of David.

32 (A)Blessed is the one whose (B)transgression is forgiven,
    whose sin is covered.
Blessed is the man against whom the Lord (C)counts no iniquity,
    and in whose spirit (D)there is no deceit.

For when I kept silent, my (E)bones wasted away
    through my (F)groaning all day long.
For day and night your (G)hand was heavy upon me;
    my strength was dried up[b] as by the heat of summer. Selah

I (H)acknowledged my sin to you,
    and I did not cover my iniquity;
I said, “I (I)will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
    and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah

Therefore let everyone who is (J)godly
    offer prayer to you at a time when you (K)may be found;
surely in the rush of (L)great waters,
    they shall not reach him.
You are a (M)hiding place for me;
    you preserve me from (N)trouble;
    you surround me with (O)shouts of deliverance. Selah

I will (P)instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
    I will (Q)counsel you with my eye upon you.
(R)Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding,
    which must be curbed with (S)bit and bridle,
    or it will not stay near you.

10 (T)Many are the sorrows of the wicked,
    but steadfast love surrounds the one who (U)trusts in the Lord.
11 (V)Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous,
    and (W)shout for joy, all you (X)upright in heart!

蒙主赦宥乃为有福

32 大卫的训诲诗。

得赦免其过、遮盖其罪的,这人是有福的!
凡心里没有诡诈,耶和华不算为有罪的,这人是有福的!
我闭口不认罪的时候,因终日唉哼而骨头枯干。
黑夜白日,你的手在我身上沉重,我的精液耗尽,如同夏天的干旱。(细拉)
我向你陈明我的罪,不隐瞒我的恶。我说“我要向耶和华承认我的过犯”,你就赦免我的罪恶。(细拉)
为此,凡虔诚人都当趁你可寻找的时候祷告你,大水泛溢的时候,必不能到他那里。
你是我藏身之处,你必保佑我脱离苦难,以得救的乐歌四面环绕我。(细拉)

倚恃耶和华者必得慈爱

我要教导你,指示你当行的路,我要定睛在你身上劝诫你。

你不可像那无知的骡马,必用嚼环辔头勒住它,不然就不能驯服。
10 恶人必多受苦楚,唯独倚靠耶和华的,必有慈爱四面环绕他。
11 你们义人应当靠耶和华欢喜快乐,你们心里正直的人都当欢呼!
