Psalms 32–33

Psalm 32:1-33:22
1Of David. A Maskil. Blessed is the one whose transgression is lifted, whose sin is covered. 2Blessed is the man to whom the LORD does not impute iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit. 3For I was silent; my bones grew old through my roaring all the day. 4For by day and by night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was turned in the droughts of summer. Selah. 5My sin I made known to you, and my iniquity I did not cover; I said, 'I will give thanks concerning my transgressions to the LORD,' and you lifted the iniquity of my sin. Selah. 6Therefore let every godly person pray to you at a time when you may be found; surely the rush of great waters shall not reach him. 7You are a hiding place for me from distress; you watch over me; songs of deliverance surround me. Selah. 8I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. 9Do not be like a horse or a mule, which have no understanding, whose ornament is bit and bridle to hold them in, lest they not come near you. 10Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the LORD. 11Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart.
Chapter 33
1Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous; praise is fitting for the upright. 2Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre; with the harp of ten make melody to him. 3Sing to him a new song; play well with a shout. 4For the word of the LORD is upright, and all his work is done in faithfulness. 5He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the LORD. 6By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and by the spirit of his lips all their army. 7He gathers the waters of the sea as in a heap; he puts the deeps in storehouses. 8Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. 9For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm. 10The LORD frustrates the counsel of the nations; he thwarts the plans of the peoples. 11The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of his heart to all generations. 12Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage. 13The LORD looks down from heaven; he sees all the children of man. 14From the foundation of his dwelling he gazed toward all the inhabitants of the land. 15He who fashions the hearts of them all, he who understands all their deeds. 16The king is not saved by abundance of strength; a mighty man is not rescued by abundance of strength. 17Deception is the horse for deliverance, and by abundance of its strength it does not escape. 18Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love. 19To deliver their soul from death and to keep them alive in famine. 20Our soul waits for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. 21For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name. 22Let your steadfast love, O LORD, be upon us, even as we hope in you.
