Heading
By David. A maskil.[a]
The Joy of Forgiveness

whose rebellion is forgiven,
whose sin is covered.
2 How blessed is the person
whose guilt the Lord does not charge against him,
in whose spirit there is no deceit.
Obtaining the Joy of Forgiveness
3 When I kept silent,
my bones wasted away as I groaned all day long.
4 For day and night your hand was heavy on me. Interlude
My moisture was dried up by the droughts of summer.
5 I acknowledged my sin to you,
and I did not cover up my guilt.
I said, “I will confess my rebellion to the Lord,” Interlude
and you forgave the guilt of my sin.
6 Because of this, let everyone who receives favor pray to you
at a time when you may be found.
Surely when the mighty waters overflow,
they will not reach him.
7 You are my hiding place.
You will protect me from distress. Interlude
You will surround me with shouts of deliverance.
Sharing the Joy of Forgiveness
8 I will make you wise.
I will instruct you in the way that you should go.
I will guide you, keeping my eye on you.
9 Do not be like a horse or a mule, which has no understanding.
Its mouth must be controlled by a bit and bridle,
or else it will not come to you.
10 Many are the sorrows of the wicked,
but mercy will surround those who trust in the Lord.
11 Rejoice in the Lord and celebrate, all you righteous,
and shout joyfully, all you upright in heart.

Salmos 32
O Livro
Salmo didático de David.
32 Feliz aquele cujas transgressões são perdoadas
e cujo pecado é coberto!
2 Feliz é aquele cujo pecado
não é tido em conta pelo Senhor
e cujo espírito foi limpo de engano!
3 Houve um tempo em que eu me calei;
não quis reconhecer o meu pecado.
Por causa disso, o meu corpo definhava
perante o meu gemido ao longo do dia.
4 Dia e noite a tua mão pesava sobre mim;
a minha vida secou como um charco no verão. (Pausa)
5 Até que te confessei os meus pecados
e deixei de encobrir a minha maldade.
Disse para mim mesmo:
“Confessarei ao Senhor as minhas transgressões.”
E tudo me perdoaste!
Toda a minha culpa desapareceu! (Pausa)
6 Agora posso afirmar que todo aquele que crê
deve confessar os seus pecados a ti, Deus,
enquanto for possível encontrar-te.
Na angústia, mesmo que seja como um grande caudal,
não será derrubado.
7 Tu és o lugar em que me escondo.
Tu me livras no meio das angústias.
Tu me rodeias de alegres cantos de vitória. (Pausa)
8 Diz o Senhor: “Eu te instruirei e ensinarei o caminho que deves seguir;
guiar-te-ei com os meus olhos.
9 Não sejas como o cavalo selvagem ou como a mula,
que não têm entendimento,
que precisam dum freio para serem dominados.”
10 Muitas tristezas têm os maus,
mas os que confiam no Senhor
são permanentemente rodeados pelo seu amor.
11 Alegrem-se no Senhor!
Encham-se de alegria, vocês, os que têm um coração íntegro.
Cantem de alegria, vocês que se conduzem com retidão.

1 Blessed is the one
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.(A)
2 Blessed is the one
whose sin the Lord does not count against them(B)
and in whose spirit is no deceit.(C)
3 When I kept silent,(D)
my bones wasted away(E)
through my groaning(F) all day long.
4 For day and night
your hand was heavy(G) on me;
my strength was sapped(H)
as in the heat of summer.[b]
5 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)
6 Therefore let all the faithful pray to you

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!

The Joy of Forgiveness
A Psalm of David. A [a]Contemplation.
32 Blessed is he whose (A)transgression is forgiven,
Whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord (B)does not [b]impute iniquity,
And (C)in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 When I kept silent, my bones grew old
Through my groaning all the day long.
4 For day and night Your (D)hand was heavy upon me;
My vitality was turned into the drought of summer. Selah
5 I acknowledged my sin to You,
And my iniquity I have not hidden.
(E)I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
And You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah
6 (F)For this cause everyone who is godly shall (G)pray to You
In a time when You may be found;
Surely in a flood of great waters
They shall not come near him.
7 (H)You are my hiding place;
You shall preserve me from trouble;
You shall surround me with (I)songs of deliverance. Selah
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will guide you with My eye.

Which have no understanding,
Which must be harnessed with bit and bridle,
Else they will not come near you.
10 (K)Many sorrows shall be to the wicked;
But (L)he who trusts in the Lord, mercy shall surround him.
11 (M)Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous;
And shout for joy, all you upright in heart!
