32:1 (大衛的訓誨詩。)得赦免其過、遮蓋其罪的,這人是有福的!
32:2 凡心裡沒有詭詐、耶和華不算為有罪的,這人是有福的!
32:3 我閉口不認罪的時候,因終日唉哼而骨頭枯乾。
32:4 黑夜白日,你的手在我身上沉重;我的精液耗盡,如同夏天的乾旱。(細拉)
32:5 我向你陳明我的罪,不隱瞞我的惡。我說:我要向耶和華承認我的過犯,你就赦免我的罪惡。(細拉)
32:6 為此,凡虔誠人都當趁你可尋找的時候禱告你;大水泛溢的時候,必不能到他那裡。
32:7 你是我藏身之處;你必保佑我脫離苦難,以得救的樂歌四面環繞我。(細拉)
32:8 我要教導你,指示你當行的路;我要定睛在你身上勸戒你。
32:9 你不可像那無知的騾馬,必用嚼環轡頭勒住牠;不然,就不能馴服。
32:10 惡人必多受苦楚;惟獨倚靠耶和華的必有慈愛四面環繞他。
32:11 你們義人應當靠耶和華歡喜快樂;你們心裡正直的人都當歡呼。

Of David. A maskil.[a]
1 Blessed
is the one
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.
2 Blessed is the one
whose sin the Lord does not count against them
and in whose spirit is no deceit.
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.
2 Blessed is the one
whose sin the Lord does not count against them
and in whose spirit is no deceit.
3 When
I kept silent,
my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long.
4 For day and night
your hand was heavy on me;
my strength was sapped
as in the heat of summer.[b]
my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long.
4 For day and night
your hand was heavy on me;
my strength was sapped
as in the heat of summer.[b]
5 Then
I acknowledged my sin to you
and did not cover up my iniquity.
I said, “I will confess
my transgressions to the Lord.”
And you forgave
the guilt of my sin.
and did not cover up my iniquity.
I said, “I will confess
my transgressions to the Lord.”
And you forgave
the guilt of my sin.
6 Therefore
let all the faithful pray to you
while you may be found;
surely the rising of the mighty waters
will not reach them.
7 You are my hiding place;
you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance.
while you may be found;
surely the rising of the mighty waters
will not reach them.
7 You are my hiding place;
you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance.
8 I
will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.
9 Do not be like the horse or the mule,
which have no understanding
but must be controlled by bit and bridle
or they will not come to you.
10 Many are the woes of the wicked,
but the Lord’s unfailing love
surrounds the one who trusts in him.
I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.

10 Many are the woes of the wicked,
but the Lord’s unfailing love

11 Rejoice
in the Lord and be glad, you
righteous;
sing, all you who are upright in heart!
sing, all you who are upright in heart!

詩人讓我們看見倚靠耶和華上帝,應該是充滿喜樂,常常歡呼讚美上帝,為什麼呢?因為「必有慈愛四面環繞他」!你有沒有這樣的感受呢?那我們如何可以感受得到呢?
當然要順應詩人在這裡的呼召,他說道:「得赦免其過、遮蓋其罪的,這人是有福的!凡心裡沒有詭詐、耶和華不算為有罪的,這人是有福的!」
然而如何能進入這樣有福的狀態呢?就是要藉由認罪開始:「我向你陳明我的罪,不隱瞞我的惡。我說:我要向耶和華承認我的過犯,你就赦免我的罪惡。」
因為不認罪的下場就是與上帝為敵,所處的狀態就是:「因終日唉哼而骨頭枯乾。黑夜白日,你的手在我身上沉重;我的精液耗盡,如同夏天的乾旱。」
這也就是說,沒有上帝的生命是充滿「愁苦」的!認罪悔改,歸向上帝就可以脫離愁苦,進入上帝所預備的喜樂,享受上帝的慈愛!你願意嗎?
