Bienaventuranza del perdonado

Salmo de David. Masquil[a].

32 ¡Cuán bienaventurado es aquel cuya transgresión es perdonada,
cuyo pecado es cubierto(A)!
¡Cuán bienaventurado es el hombre a quien el Señor no culpa de iniquidad(B),
y en cuyo espíritu no hay engaño(C)!

Mientras callé mi pecado(D), mi cuerpo[b] se consumió(E)
con mi gemir[c] durante todo el día(F).
Porque día y noche tu mano pesaba sobre mí(G);
mi vitalidad se desvanecía con el calor del verano[d](H). (Selah[e])
Te manifesté mi pecado(I),
y no encubrí mi iniquidad(J).
Dije: Confesaré mis transgresiones al Señor(K);
y tú perdonaste la culpa[f] de mi pecado(L). (Selah)
Por eso, que todo santo ore a ti en el tiempo en que puedas ser hallado[g](M);
ciertamente, en la inundación de muchas aguas, no llegarán estas a él(N).
Tú eres mi escondedero[h](O); de la angustia me preservarás(P);
con cánticos[i] de liberación me rodearás(Q). (Selah)

Yo te haré saber y te enseñaré el camino en que debes andar(R);
te aconsejaré con mis ojos puestos en ti(S).
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 Alegraos en el Señor y regocijaos, justos(W);
dad voces de júbilo, todos los rectos de corazón(X).

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.

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute wickedness,
And in whose spirit there is no deceit.(A)


When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted away
Through my groaning all the day long.

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.

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.

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.

You are my hiding place; You, Lord, protect me from trouble;
You surround me with songs and shouts of deliverance. Selah.


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.

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.

  1. Psalm 32:1 Meaning uncertain.
  2. Psalm 32:4 Lit life juices were turned into the drought of summer.

This is a special song that David wrote.

Tell God about your sins[a]

32 When God has forgiven someone's sins,
    they are truly happy!
They may have turned against God,
    but when God forgives them, they are happy.
They may have done something bad,
    but when the Lord says, ‘Not guilty!’,
    he has truly blessed them.
They are happy because they no longer try to hide their sins.

When I said nothing to God about my sin,
    my whole body became weak.
I cried all the time because of the pain.
In the day and in the night,
    you punished me very much.
It seemed as if the hot sun was taking away my strength.
Selah.
Then I told you about my sins.
I did not try to hide the bad things that I had done.
I said, ‘I will tell the Lord
    about the things that I have done against him.’
When I did that, you forgave my sins.
Selah.
Because of this, all your own people should pray to you.
They should pray while they still have the chance.[b]
Then, when danger comes to them like a river of deep water,
    they will still be safe.
Yes, Lord, you are a place where I can hide.
    You will keep me safe from trouble.
I will hear happy songs all around me,
    because you save your people from danger.
Selah.
I will teach you the right way to live.
I will be your guide
    and I will take care of you.[c]
Do not be like a silly horse, or a mule.
You have to use a rope to show them which way to go.
    Without that, they will not obey you.
10 Wicked people will receive a lot of trouble and pain.
But if anyone trusts in the Lord,
    they will know that God always loves them.
11 So all you people who belong to the Lord,
    praise him and be happy!
All of you who are good, honest people,
    shout aloud because you are so happy!

  1. 32:1 This psalm helps us to tell God when we have done something that is wrong. God already knows about it, but he will not forgive us until we show him that we are sorry. David knew that he had done bad things that did not please God. When he knew that God had forgiven him, he could be happy again. There are other Psalms which say ‘sorry’ to God. See Psalms 38; 51; 102; 130; 143.
  2. 32:6 ‘while they still have the chance’ or ‘when they know about their sin’.
  3. 32:8 These are God's words. He is promising to take care of David.
