12 When the righteous triumph, there is great elation;

but when the wicked rise to power, people go into hiding.

13 Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper,

but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.

12 When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: But when the wicked rise, a man is hidden. 13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: But whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

12 When the godly succeed, everyone is glad.

When the wicked take charge, people go into hiding.

13 People who conceal their sins will not prosper,

but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy.

12 When the righteous rejoice, there is great glory;

But when the wicked arise, men hide themselves.

13 He who covers his sins will not prosper,

But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.

12 When good people triumph, there is great happiness,

but when the wicked get control, everybody hides.

13 If you hide your sins, you will not succeed.

If you confess and reject them, you will receive mercy.

12 When the righteous triumph, there is great glory;

But when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.

13 He that covereth his transgressions shall not prosper:

But whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall obtain mercy.

12 When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; but when the wicked rise, men conceal themselves.

13 He that covereth his transgressions shall not prosper; but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall obtain mercy.

12 When righteous people triumph, there is great glory, 

but when wicked people rise, people hide themselves. 

13 Whoever covers over his sins does not prosper. 

Whoever confesses and abandons them receives compassion. 

12 When the righteous triumph,

there is great rejoicing,

but when the wicked come to power,

people hide themselves.

13 The one who conceals his sins

will not prosper,

but whoever confesses and renounces them

will find mercy.

12 When the righteous triumph, there is great glory,

but when the wicked prevail, people go into hiding.

13 No one who conceals transgressions will prosper,

but one who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.

12 When the righteous triumphs, great is the glory,

but with the rising of the wicked, a person will be hidden.

13 He who conceals his transgression will not prosper,

but he who confesses and forsakes will obtain mercy.

12 When godly people win, everyone is very happy.

But when sinners take charge, everyone hides.

13 Anyone who hides his sins doesn’t succeed.

But anyone who admits his sins and gives them up finds mercy.

12 When the righteous triumph, there is great glory,

But when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.

13 He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper,

But he who confesses and forsakes them will find compassion.
