Psalms 32
32
By David. — An Instruction.
1O the happiness of him whose transgression [is] forgiven, Whose sin is covered.
2O the happiness of a man, To whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3When I have kept silence, become old have my bones, Through my roaring all the day.
4When by day and by night Thy hand is heavy upon me, My moisture hath been changed Into the droughts of summer. Selah.
5My sin I cause Thee to know, And mine iniquity I have not covered. I have said, ‘I confess concerning My transgressions to Jehovah,’ And Thou — Thou hast taken away, The iniquity of my sin. Selah.
6For this doth every saintly one pray to Thee, As the time to find. Surely at an overflowing of many waters, Unto him they come not.
7Thou [art] a hiding-place for me, From distress Thou dost keep me, [With] songs of deliverance dost compass me. Selah.
8I cause thee to act wisely, And direct thee in the way that thou goest, I cause mine eye to take counsel concerning thee.
9Be ye not as a horse — as a mule, Without understanding, With bridle and bit, its ornaments, to curb, Not to come near unto thee.
10Many [are] the pains of the wicked; As to him who is trusting in Jehovah, Kindness doth compass him.
11Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous, And sing, all ye upright of heart!

Psalms 32
32
PSALM 32.
1A psalm for David. Rejoice in the Lord, O ye just: praise becometh the upright.
2Give praise to the Lord on the harp; sing to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings.
3Sing to him a new canticle, sing well unto him with a loud noise.
4For the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are done with faithfulness.
5He loveth mercy and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
6By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the power of them by the spirit of his mouth:
7Gathering together the waters of the sea, as in a vessel; laying up the depths in storehouses.
8Let all the earth fear the Lord, and let all the inhabitants of the world be in awe of him.
9For he spoke and they were made: he commanded and they were created.
10The Lord bringeth to nought the counsels of nations; and he rejecteth the devices of people, and casteth away the counsels of princes.
11But the counsel of the Lord standeth for ever: the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord: the people whom he hath chosen for his inheritance.
13The Lord hath looked from heaven: he hath beheld all the sons of men.
14From his habitation which he hath prepared, he hath looked upon all that dwell on the earth.
15He who hath made the hearts of every one of them: who understandeth all their works.
16The king is not saved by a great army: nor shall the giant be saved by his own great strength.
17Vain is the horse for safety: neither shall he be saved by the abundance of his strength.
18Behold the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him: and on them that hope in his mercy.
19To deliver their souls from death; and feed them in famine.
20Our soul waiteth for the Lord: for he is our helper and protector.
21For in him our heart shall rejoice: and in his holy name we have trusted.
22Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, as we have hoped in thee.
