Psalms 32
1(Of Dovid. A maskil) 1 whose chata'ah (sin) is covered. 1
2Ashrei is the adam unto whom Hashem imputeth not avon (iniquity), 1 and in whose ruach there is no remiyyah (guile, deceit). 1
3When I kept silent, + 32:3 i.e., refused to confess my sin, which was still naked and uncovered (see 32:1 ) and had no kapporah covering for my guilt before G-d my atzmot wasted away 1 through my groaning kol hayom (all the day). 1
4For yomam valailah Thy yad was heavy upon me; 1 my strength was sapped as by the droughts of kayitz (summer). 1 Selah 1
5I acknowledge my chattat unto Thee, 1 and mine avon (iniquity) have I not covered up. 1 I said, I will confess my peysha'im (rebellions) unto Hashem; 1 and Thou forgavest the avon (iniquity) of my chattat. 1 Selah 1
6Therefore shall every Chasid pray unto Thee 1 in a time when Thou mayest be found; 1 surely in the floods of mayim rabbim 1 they shall not overtake him. 1
7Thou art my seter (hiding place, shelter); 1 Thou shalt preserve me from tzoros; 1 Thou shalt envelop me with songs of deliverance. 1 Selah 1
8I will instruct thee and teach thee in the Derech which thou shalt go; 1 I will counsel thee with Mine eye. 1
9Be ye not like the sus, or like the pered (mule), which have no binah; 1 whose mouth must be harnessed with bit and bridle, 1 else they come not near thee. 1
10Many sorrows shall be to the resha'im, 1 but he that trusteth in Hashem, 1 chesed shall envelop and cover him. 1
11Be glad in Hashem, and rejoice, ye tzaddikim; 1 and shout for joy, all ye yishrei lev (upright in heart).
