Salmo de David.

32 ¡Qué felicidad la de aquellos cuya culpa ha sido perdonada! ¡Qué gozo hay cuando los pecados son borrados! ¡Qué alivio tienen los que han confesado sus pecados y a quienes el Señor ha borrado su registro de delincuencia y que viven en completa honestidad!

Hubo un tiempo en que yo rehusaba reconocer lo pecador que era. Pero era yo débil y miserable y gemía todo el día. Día y noche su mano pesaba sobre mí. Mi fuerza se evaporaba como agua en día de sol. Pero un día reconocí ante ti todos mis pecados y no traté de ocultarlos más. Dije para mí: «Se los voy a confesar al Señor». ¡Y tú me perdonaste! Toda mi culpa se esfumó.

Por eso los fieles te invocan en momentos de angustia; caudalosas aguas podrán desbordarse, pero a ellos no los alcanzarán. Tú eres mi refugio; tú me protegerás del peligro y me rodearás con cánticos de liberación. El Señor dice: «Yo te instruiré y te guiaré por el mejor camino para tu vida; yo te aconsejaré y velaré por ti. No seas como el caballo ni como la mula que no tienen discernimiento y que necesitan un freno en la boca para no salirse del camino».

10 Muchos dolores sobrevienen al malvado, pero el gran amor del Señor envuelve a los que en él confían. 11 ¡Regocíjense en él, ustedes los justos, y griten de júbilo todos ustedes los de recto corazón!

32 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.

For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

I acknowledge 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.

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.

Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

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 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass him about.

11 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

Psalm 32

Of David. A maskil.[a]

Blessed is the one
    whose transgressions are forgiven,
    whose sins are covered.(A)
Blessed is the one
    whose sin the Lord does not count against them(B)
    and in whose spirit is no deceit.(C)

When I kept silent,(D)
    my bones wasted away(E)
    through my groaning(F) all day long.
For day and night
    your hand was heavy(G) on me;
my strength was sapped(H)
    as in the heat of summer.[b]

Then I acknowledged my sin to you
    and did not cover up my iniquity.(I)
I said, “I will confess(J)
    my transgressions(K) to the Lord.”
And you forgave
    the guilt of my sin.(L)

Therefore let all the faithful pray to you
    while you may be found;(M)
surely the rising(N) of the mighty waters(O)
    will not reach them.(P)
You are my hiding place;(Q)
    you will protect me from trouble(R)
    and surround me with songs of deliverance.(S)

I will instruct(T) you and teach you(U) in the way you should go;
    I will counsel you with my loving eye on(V) you.
Do not be like the horse or the mule,
    which have no understanding
but must be controlled by bit and bridle(W)
    or they will not come to you.
10 Many are the woes of the wicked,(X)
    but the Lord’s unfailing love
    surrounds the one who trusts(Y) in him.

11 Rejoice in the Lord(Z) and be glad, you righteous;
    sing, all you who are upright in heart!
