Psalm 32
New American Standard Bible
Blessedness of Forgiveness and of Trust in God.
A Psalm of David. A [a]Maskil.
32 (A)How blessed is he whose wrongdoing is forgiven,
Whose sin is covered!
2 How blessed is a person whose guilt the Lord (B)does not take into account,
And in whose spirit there is (C)no deceit!
3 When (D)I kept silent about my sin, (E)my [b]body wasted away
Through my [c](F)groaning all day long.
4 For day and night (G)Your hand was heavy upon me;
My [d](H)vitality failed as with the dry heat of summer. Selah
5 I (I)acknowledged my sin to You,
And I (J)did not hide my guilt;
I said, “(K)I will confess my wrongdoings to the Lord”;
And You (L)forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah
6 Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You [e](M)in a time when You may be found;
Certainly (N)in a flood of great waters, they will not reach him.
7 You are (O)my hiding place; You (P)keep me from trouble;
You surround me with [f](Q)songs of deliverance. Selah
8 I will (R)instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go;
I will advise you (S)with My eye upon you.
9 Do not be (T)like the horse or like the mule, which have no understanding,
Whose trappings include bit and bridle to hold them in check,
Otherwise they will not come near to you.
10 The (U)sorrows of the wicked are many,
But (V)the one who trusts in the Lord, goodness will surround him.
11 Be (W)glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous ones;
And shout for joy, all you who are (X)upright in heart.

Psalm 32
Amplified Bible
Blessedness of Forgiveness and of Trust in God.
A Psalm of David. A skillful [a]song, or a didactic or reflective poem.
32 Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, favored by God] is he whose transgression is forgiven,
And whose sin is covered.
2
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute wickedness,
And in whose spirit there is no deceit.(A)
3
When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted away
Through my groaning all the day long.
4
For day and night Your hand [of displeasure] was heavy upon me;
My [b]energy (vitality, strength) was drained away as with the burning heat of summer. Selah.
5
I acknowledged my sin to You,
And I did not hide my wickedness;
I said, “I will confess [all] my transgressions to the Lord”;
And You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah.
6
Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You [for forgiveness] in a time when You [are near and] may be found;
Surely when the great waters [of trial and distressing times] overflow they will not reach [the spirit in] him.
7
You are my hiding place; You, Lord, protect me from trouble;
You surround me with songs and shouts of deliverance. Selah.
8
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you [who are willing to learn] with My eye upon you.
9
Do not be like the horse or like the mule which have no understanding,
Whose trappings include bridle and rein to hold them in check,
Otherwise they will not come near to you.
10
Many are the sorrows of the wicked,
But he who trusts in and relies on the Lord shall be surrounded with compassion and lovingkindness.
11
Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous [who actively seek right standing with Him];
Shout for joy, all you upright in heart.

Psalm 32
Easy-to-Read Version
A maskil of David.
32 It is a great blessing
when people are forgiven for the wrongs they have done,
when their sins are erased.[a]
2 It is a great blessing
when the Lord says they are not guilty,
when they don’t try to hide their sins.
3 Lord, I prayed to you again and again,
but I did not talk about my sins.
So I only became weaker and more miserable.
4 Every day you made life harder for me.
I became like a dry land in the hot summertime. Selah
5 But then I decided to confess my sins to the Lord.
I stopped hiding my guilt and told you about my sins.
And you forgave them all! Selah
6 That is why your loyal followers pray to you while there is still time.
Then when trouble rises like a flood, it will not reach them.
7 You are a hiding place for me.
You protect me from my troubles.
You surround me and protect me,
so I sing about the way you saved me. Selah
8 The Lord says, “I will teach you
and guide you in the way you should live.
I will watch over you and be your guide.
9 Don’t be like a stupid horse or mule that will not come to you
unless you put a bit in its mouth and pull it with reins.”
10 Many pains will come to the wicked,
but the Lord’s faithful love will surround those who trust in him.
11 Good people, rejoice and be very happy in the Lord.
All you who want to do right, rejoice!

Salmos 32
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Bienaventuranza del perdonado
Salmo de David. Masquil[a].
32 ¡Cuán bienaventurado es aquel cuya transgresión es perdonada,
Cuyo pecado es cubierto(A)!
2 ¡Cuán bienaventurado es el hombre a quien el Señor no culpa de iniquidad(B),
Y en cuyo espíritu no hay engaño(C)!
3 Mientras callé mi pecado(D), mi cuerpo se consumió(E)
Con mi gemir durante todo el día(F).
4 Porque día y noche Tu mano pesaba sobre mí(G);
Mi vitalidad se desvanecía con el calor del verano(H). (Selah)
5 Te manifesté mi pecado(I),
Y no encubrí mi iniquidad(J).
Dije: «Confesaré mis transgresiones al Señor(K)»;
Y Tú perdonaste la culpa[b] de mi pecado(L). (Selah)
6 Por eso, que todo santo ore a Ti en el tiempo en que puedas ser hallado(M);
Ciertamente, en la inundación de muchas aguas, no llegarán estas a él(N).
7 Tú eres mi escondedero(O); de la angustia me preservarás(P);
Con cánticos de liberación me rodearás(Q). (Selah)
8 Yo te haré saber y te enseñaré el camino en que debes andar(R);
Te aconsejaré con Mis ojos puestos en ti(S).
9 No seas como el caballo o como el mulo, que no tienen entendimiento(T);
Cuyos arreos incluyen brida y freno para sujetarlos,
Porque si no, no se acercan a ti.
10 Muchos son los dolores del impío(U),
Pero al que confía en el Señor, la misericordia lo rodeará(V).
11 Alégrense en el Señor y regocíjense, justos(W);
Den voces de júbilo todos ustedes, los rectos de corazón(X).
