Psaumes 32.4
English standard version

Le bonheur du pécheur pardonné

¹ A Maskil of David.
Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven,
whose sin is covered
² Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity,
and in whose spirit there is no deceit
³ For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long
⁴ For day and night your hand was heavy upon me;
my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. Selah
⁵ I acknowledged my sin to you,
and I did not cover my iniquity;
I said, I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,
and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah
⁶ Therefore let everyone who is godly
offer prayer to you at a time when you may be found;
surely in the rush of great waters,
they shall not reach him.
⁷ You are a hiding place for me;
you preserve me from trouble;
you surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah
⁸ I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my eye upon you.
⁹ Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding,
which must be curbed with bit and bridle,
or it will not stay near you.
¹⁰ Many are the sorrows of the wicked,
but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord.
¹¹ Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous,
and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!
