Psalms 32

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 A Psalm of David. Exult in the Lord, you just ones; together praise the upright.	1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2 Confess to the Lord with stringed instruments; sing psalms to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings.	2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3 Sing to him a new song. Sing psalms to him skillfully, with loud exclamation.	3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
4 For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his works are in faith.	4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
5 He loves mercy and judgment. The earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.	5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
6 By the word of the Lord, the heavens were established, and all their power, by the Spirit of his mouth:	6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.
7 gathering together the waters of the sea, as if in a container, placing the depths in storage.	7 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord, and may all the inhabitants of the world quake before him.	8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
9 For he spoke, and they became. He commanded, and they were created.	9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.
10 The Lord scatters the counsels of the nations. Moreover, he reproves the thoughts of the people, and he rejects the counsels of the leaders.	10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
11 But the counsel of the Lord remains for eternity, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.	11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his inheritance.
13 The Lord has looked down from heaven. He has seen all the sons of men.
14 From his well-prepared dwelling place, he has gazed upon all who dwell on the earth.
15 He has formed the hearts of each one of them; he understands all their works.
16 The king is not saved by great power, nor will the giant be saved by his many powers.
17 The horse is false safety; for he will not be saved by the abundance of his powers.
18 Behold, the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him and on those who hope in his mercy,
19 so as to rescue their souls from death and to feed them during famine.
20 Our soul remains with the Lord. For he is our helper and protector.
21 For in him, our heart will rejoice, and in his holy name, we have hoped.
22 Let your mercy be upon us, O Lord, just as we have hoped in you.
