Salmos 32

1Maskil de David. Dichoso aquel a quien es perdonada su iniquidad, cuyo pecado es olvidado.

2Dichoso el hombre a quien Yahvé no imputa culpa y en cuyo espíritu no hay doblez.

3Mientras callé se consumieron mis huesos, en medio de mis continuos gemidos.

4Porque de día y de noche pesaba sobre mí tu mano, me revolcaba en mi miseria mientras tenía clavada la espina.

5Entonces te manifesté mi delito, y no te oculté mi culpa; dije: “confesaré mi iniquidad a Yahvé” y Tú remitiste la culpa de mi pecado.

6Que te invoquen todos los fieles, en el tiempo en que puedes ser hallado; aunque irrumpiera un diluvio de agua, no les alcanzará.

7Tú para mí eres un refugio que me libra de la angustia, Tú me envuelves en el gozo de mi salud.

8“Yo te aleccionaré y te mostraré el camino que has de seguir; de ti cuidaré y fijaré sobre ti mis ojos.

9No quieras ser como el caballo o el mulo, sin entendimiento, que han de ser domados con freno y riendas para que te obedezcan.”

10Muchos dolores aguardan al pecador, mas al que confía en Yahvé lo defenderá la misericordia.

11Alegraos en Yahvé y regocijaos, oh justos; saltad de júbilo todos los rectos de corazón.

1Ipsi David intellectus. [Beati quorum remissæ sunt iniquitates, et quorum tecta sunt peccata.

2Beatus vir cui non imputavit Dominus peccatum, nec est in spiritu ejus dolus.

3Quoniam tacui, inveteraverunt ossa mea, dum clamarem tota die.

4Quoniam die ac nocte gravata est super me manus tua, conversus sum in ærumna mea, dum configitur spina.

5Delictum meum cognitum tibi feci, et injustitiam meam non abscondi. Dixi: Confitebor adversum me injustitiam meam Domino; et tu remisisti impietatem peccati mei.

6Pro hac orabit ad te omnis sanctus in tempore opportuno. Verumtamen in diluvio aquarum multarum, ad eum non approximabunt.

7Tu es refugium meum a tribulatione quæ circumdedit me; exsultatio mea, erue me a circumdantibus me.

8Intellectum tibi dabo, et instruam te in via hac qua gradieris; firmabo super te oculos meos.

9Nolite fieri sicut equus et mulus, quibus non est intellectus. In camo et freno maxillas eorum constringe, qui non approximant ad te.

10Multa flagella peccatoris; sperantem autem in Domino misericordia circumdabit.

11Lætamini in Domino, et exsultate, justi; et gloriamini, omnes recti corde.]

1To David himself, understanding. Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

2Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

3Because I was silent my bones grew old; whilst I cried out all the day long.

4For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: I am turned in my anguish, whilst the thorn is fastened.

5I have acknowledged my sin to thee, and my injustice I have not concealed. I said I will confess against myself my injustice to the Lord: and thou hast forgiven the wickedness of my sin.

6For this shall every one that is holy pray to thee in a seasonable time. And yet in a flood of many waters, they shall not come nigh unto him.

7Thou art my refuge from the trouble which hath encompassed me: my joy, deliver me from them that surround me.

8I will give thee understanding, and I will instruct thee in this way, in which thou shalt go: I will fix my eyes upon thee.

9Do not become like the horse and the mule, who have no understanding. With bit and bridle bind fast their jaws, who come not near unto thee.

10Many are the scourges of the sinner, but mercy shall encompass him that hopeth in the Lord.

11Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye just, and glory, all ye right of heart.
