תהילים לב

Of David. A maskil. Meaning of Heb. uncertain.
Happy is the one whose transgression is forgiven,
whose sin is covered over.

Happy the person whom GOD does not hold guilty,
and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

As long as I said nothing,
my limbs wasted away
from my anguished roaring all day long.

For night and day
Your hand lay heavy on me;
my vigor waned
as in the summer drought.    Selah.

Then I acknowledged my sin to You;
I did not cover up my guilt;
I resolved, “I will confess my transgressions to GOD,”
and You forgave the guilt of my sin.    Selah.

Therefore let all the faithful pray to You
upon discovering [their sin],
that the rushing mighty waters
not overtake them.

You are my shelter;
You preserve me from distress;
You surround me with the joyous shouts of deliverance.    Selah.

Let me enlighten you
and show you which way to go;
let me offer counsel; my eye is on you.

Be not like a senseless horse or mule
whose movement must be curbed by bit and bridle;
far be it from you!

Many are the torments of the wicked,
but those who trust in GOD
shall be surrounded with favor.

Rejoice in GOD and exult, O you righteous;
shout for joy, all the upright!
