Salmos 32

A psalm written by David, a psalm which will help people to be wise

1 Those whom God has forgiven for rebelling against him,

whose stains [MET] of sin have been wiped away,

are truly blessed by God!

2 Those whose record of their sins Yahweh has erased,

those who no longer do deceitful things,

are truly blessed by God!

3 When I did not confess my sins,

◄my body/I► was very weak and sick,

and I groaned ◄all day long/continually►.

4 Day and night, Yahweh, you [SYN] punished me severely.

My strength drained away like water that ◄evaporates/dries up► on a hot summer day.

(Think about that!)

5 Then/Finally I admitted/confessed my sins to you;

I stopped trying to hide them.

(Think about that!)

I said to myself,

"I will confess to Yahweh the wrong things that I have done."

And when I confessed them, you forgave me,

so now I ◄am no longer guilty/will no longer be punished► for my sins.

6 Therefore, the people who are godly should pray to you

when they ◄realize that they have sinned/have difficulties►.

If they pray to you, difficulties [MET] will not overwhelm them like a great flood.
