Salmos 32
Dios Habla Hoy
Confesión y perdón
(1a) Instrucción de David.
32 (1b) Feliz el hombre a quien sus culpas y pecados
le han sido perdonados por completo.
2 Feliz el hombre que no es mal intencionado
y a quien el Señor no acusa de falta alguna.
3 Mientras no confesé mi pecado,
mi cuerpo iba decayendo
por mi gemir de todo el día,
4 pues de día y de noche
tu mano pesaba sobre mí.
Como flor marchita por el calor del verano,
así me sentía decaer.
5 Pero te confesé sin reservas
mi pecado y mi maldad;
decidí confesarte mis pecados,
y tú, Señor, los perdonaste.
6 Por eso, en momentos de angustia
los fieles te invocarán,
y aunque las aguas caudalosas se desborden,
no llegarán hasta ellos.
7 Tú eres mi refugio:
me proteges del peligro,
me rodeas de gritos de liberación.
8 El Señor dice:
«Mis ojos están puestos en ti.
Yo te daré instrucciones,
te daré consejos,
te enseñaré el camino que debes seguir.
9 No seas como el mulo o el caballo,
que no pueden entender
y hay que detener su brío
con el freno y con la rienda,
pues de otra manera no se acercan a ti.»
10 Los malvados tendrán muchos dolores,
pero el amor del Señor envuelve
a los que en él confían.
11 Alégrense en el Señor,
hombres buenos y honrados;
¡alégrense y griten de alegría!
Psalm 32
King James Version
32 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
5 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.
6 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.
7 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
9 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
EasyEnglish Bible
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.
2 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.
3 When I said nothing to God about my sin,
my whole body became weak.
I cried all the time because of the pain.
4 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.
5 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.
6 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.
7 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.
8 I will teach you the right way to live.
I will be your guide
and I will take care of you.[c]
9 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!
Footnotes
- 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.
- 32:6 ‘while they still have the chance’ or ‘when they know about their sin’.
- 32:8 These are God's words. He is promising to take care of David.
