A Psalm of David, Maschil.

1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.*32.1 A Psalm…: or, A Psalm of David giving instruction

2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.

4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.*32.6 when…: Heb. of finding

7 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.*32.8 guide…: Heb. counsel thee, mine eye shall be upon thee

9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.

11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

大卫的训诲诗。 1 过犯得蒙赦免，

罪恶得到遮盖的人，是有福的。*本节在《马索拉文本》包括细字标题

2 心里没有诡诈，

耶和华不算为有罪的，这人是有福的。

3 我闭口不认罪的时候，

就整天唉哼，以致骨头衰残。

4 因为你的手昼夜重压在我身上，

我的精力耗尽，好象盛暑的干旱。*细拉

5 我向你承认我的罪，

没有隐藏我的罪孽；

我说："我要向耶和华承认我的过犯"；

你就赦免我的罪孽。*细拉

6 因此，凡是敬虔的人，都当趁你可寻找的时候，向你祷告；

大水泛滥的时候，必不能达到他那里。

7 你是我藏身之处，

你必保护我脱离患难，

以得救的欢呼四面环绕我。*细拉

8 我要教导你，指示你应走的路；

我要劝戒你，我的眼睛看顾你。

9 你不可像无知的骡马，

如果不用嚼环辔头勒住牠们，

牠们就不肯走近。

10 恶人必受许多痛苦；

但倚靠耶和华的，必有慈爱四面环绕他。

11 义人哪！你们要靠着耶和华欢喜快乐；

所有心里正直的人哪！你们都要欢呼。
