A Psalm of David. Maschil.
Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,
Whose sin is covered.
Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity,
And in whose spirit there is no guile.
When I kept silence, my bones wasted away
Through my {Hebrew: roaring.}groaning all the day long.
For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me:
My moisture was changed {Or, into the}as with the drought of summer.
[Selah
I acknowledged my sin unto thee,
And mine iniquity did I not hide:
I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah;
And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. [Selah
For this let every one that is godly pray unto thee {Or, in the time of finding out sin}in a time when thou mayest be found:
Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach unto him.
Thou art my hiding-place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble;
Thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance. [Selah
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go:
I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee.
Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding;
Whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in,
{Or, That they come not near}Else they will not come near unto thee.
Many sorrows shall be to the wicked;
But he that trusteth in Jehovah, lovingkindness shall compass him about.
Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous;
And shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
Querverweise zu Psalm 32,8 Ps 32,8
Come, ye children, hearken unto me:I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.
The meek will he guide in justice;And the meek will he teach his way.
My son, forget not my {Or, teaching}law;But let thy heart keep my commandments:
All the paths of Jehovah are lovingkindness and truthUnto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
Hear, my sons, the instruction of a father,And attend to know understanding:
For I give you good doctrine;Forsake ye not my {Or, teaching}law.
For I was a son unto my father,Tender and {Hebrew: an only one.}only beloved in the sight of my mother.
And he taught me, and said unto me:Let thy heart retain my words;Keep my commandments, and live;
Get wisdom, get understanding;Forget not, neither decline from the words of my mouth;
Forsake her not, and she will preserve thee;Love her, and she will keep thee.
{Or, The beginning of wisdom is, Get wisdom}Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom;Yea, with all {Or, thou hast gotten}thy getting get understanding.
Exalt her, and she will promote thee;She will bring thee to honor, when thou dost embrace her.
She will give to thy head a chaplet of grace;A crown of {Or, glory}beauty will she deliver to thee.
Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings;And the years of thy life shall be many.
I have taught thee in the way of wisdom;I have led thee in paths of uprightness.
When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened;And if thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go:Keep her; for she is thy life.
Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him,Upon them that {Or, wait for}hope in his lovingkindness;
Receive my instruction, and not silver;And knowledge rather than choice gold.
Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart,And lean not upon thine own understanding:
For wisdom is better than rubies;And all the things that may be desired are not to be compared unto it.
In all thy ways acknowledge him,And he will {Or, make straight (or, plain)}direct thy paths.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the {Or, mirage}heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them will lead them, even by springs of water will he guide them.
