David’s Joy Over Forgiveness; as in Psalm 32; illustration from a Bible card published by the Providence Lithograph Company (1903) / Image via Wikipedia

Psalm 32:3,1,4,2,5b,7 [English, Latin]

³ While I held my tongue, my bones withered away, because of my groaning all day long.

¹ Beati quorum remissae sunt iniqitates et quorum tecta sunt peccata. [Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.]

⁴ For your hand was heavy upon me day and night; my moisture was dried up as in the head of summer.

² Beatus vir qui non imputabit Dominus peccatum nec est in spiritu eius dolus. [Blessed is the man who does not sin the Lord will not impute it and in whose spirit there is no guile.]

^5b I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD.” Then you forgave me the guilt of my sin.

⁷ You are my hiding place; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance.

⁷ Tu es refugium a tribulatione quae circumdedit me exultatio mea erue me a circumdantibus me. [see English immediately above]
