Psalm 32
By David, a psalm of understanding.
Blessed is the one who lifts up his transgressions to Hashem;
his sins will be forgiven.
Blessed is the one for whom the Holy One
need not reckon his faults;
whose spirit is clean of deceit.
When I ploughed the fields in silence,
my bones wasted away;
they groaned all day as I worked.
For day and night your hand weighed heavy against me;
the juice of my breast went dry, like the brittle fruit of summer–Selah.
I made my sin known to You.
My wrongs I no longer attempted to hide.
I said, I will confess my rebellions to the Eternal–
and You forgave my sins and errors–Selah.
For this, let the one who loves You
pray at any time he can find–
do not let the flood of waters overtake him.
You are a hiding place for me,
protecting me from anguish.
You surround me with a loud cry of rescue–Selah.
I will enlighten and illumine for You
the path you should walk.
My eyes will give witness.
Don’t be like a horse,
a mule without understanding
with a bridle and halter put on to restrain it.
In such a way Elohim cannot approach you.
Many are the pains of those who persist in their wrongs,
but those who trust in their Creator are surrounded by love.
Take joy in Hashem and let the righteous rejoice.
Cry out with gladness, all who are steadfast of heart.
