Ashrei nesui-pesha kesui chataah:

Happy is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered. 

32:2 אשׁרי אדם לא יחשׁב יהוה לו עון ואין ברוחו רמיה׃

Ashrei adam lo yakhshov ADONAI lo avon veein berucho remiyah:

Happy is the man to whom ADONAI (יהוה) does not impute iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

32:3 כי־החרשׁתי בלו עצמי בשׁאגתי כל־היום׃

Ki-hekherashti balu atzamai beshaagati kol-hayom:

When I kept silent, my bones grew oldThrough my groaning all the day long.

32:4 כי יומם ולילה תכבד עלי ידך נהפך לשׁדי בחרבני קיץ סלה:

Ki yomam valailah tikhbad alai yadekha nehpakh leshadi bekharvonei kayitz Selah:

For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; My vitality was turned into the drought of summer. Selah

32:5  חטאתי אודיעך ועוני לא־כסיתי אמרתי אודה עלי פשׁעי ליהוה ואתה נשׂאת עון חטאתי סלה׃

Chatati odiakha vaavoni lo-khisiti amarti odeh alei feshaai laADONAI veatah nasata avon chatati Selah:

I acknowledged my sin to You, And my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to ADONAI (יהוה)," And You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah

32:6 על־זאת יתפלל כל־חסיד אליך לעת מצא רק לשׁטף מים רבים אליו לא יגיעו׃

Al-zot yitpalel kol-chasid eleikha leet metzo rak leshetef mayim rabim elav lo yagiu:

For this cause everyone who is pious shallpray to You In a time when You may be found; Surely in a flood of great waters They shall not come near him.

32:7 אתה סתר לי מצר תצרני רני פלט תסובבני סלה׃

Atah seter li mitzar titzreni ranei falet tesovveni Selah:

You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah.

32:8 אשׂכילך ואורך בדרך־זו תלך איעצה עליך עיני׃

Askilkha veorkha bederekh-zu telekh iatzah aleikha eini:

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.

32:9 אל־תהיו כסוס כפרד אין הבין במתג־ורסן עדיו לבלום בל קרב אליך׃

Al-tihyu kesus kefered ein havin bemeteg-varesen edyo livlom bal kerov eleikha

Do not be like the horse or like the mule, Which have no understanding, Which must be harnessed with bit and bridle, Else they will not come near you.

32:10 רבים מכאובים לרשׁע והבוטח ביהוה חסד יסובבנו׃

Rabim makhovim larasha vehaboteach baADONAI chesed yesovvenu:  

Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; But hewho trusts in ADONAI (יהוה), mercy shall surround him.

32:11שׂמחו ביהוה וגילו צדיקים והרנינו כל־ישׁרי־לב׃

Simchu vaADONAI vegilu tzadikim veharninu kol-yishrei-lev:

Be glad in ADONAI (יהוה) and rejoice, you righteous; And shout for joy, all you upright in heart!
