Salmos 32 · El gozo del perdón

1Of David. A maskil. Meaning of Heb. uncertain. Happy is the one whose transgression is forgiven,whose sin is covered over.

2Happy the person whom GOD does not hold guilty,and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

3As long as I said nothing,my limbs wasted awayfrom my anguished roaring all day long.

4For night and dayYour hand lay heavy on me;my vigor wanedas in the summer drought. Selah.

5Then 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.

6Therefore let all the faithful pray to Youupon discovering [their sin], that the rushing mighty watersnot overtake them.

7You are my shelter;You preserve me from distress;You surround me with the joyous shouts of deliverance. Selah.

8Let me enlighten youand show you which way to go;let me offer counsel; my eye is on you.

9Be not like a senseless horse or mulewhose movement must be curbed by bit and bridle; far be it from you!

10Many are the torments of the wicked,but those who trust in GOD shall be surrounded with favor.

11Rejoice in GOD and exult, O you righteous;shout for joy, all the upright!
