Psalms 32
1Rejoice in the Lord, you⌃ righteous; praise becomes the upright. 1
2+ 32:2 Rather, 'confess' or give thanks to.' Praise the Lord on the harp; platy to him on a lute of ten strings. 1
3Sing to him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise. 1
4For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are + 32:4 Rather, Gr. in or with faithfulness. faithful. 1
5He loves mercy and judgment; the earth is full the mercy of the Lord. 1
6By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. 1
7Who gathers the waters of the sea as in a bottle; who lays up the deeps in treasuries. 1
8Let all the earth fear the Lord; and let all that dwell in the world be moved because of him. 1
9For he spoke, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created. 1
10The Lord frustrates the counsels of the nations; he brings to nothing also the reasonings of the peoples, and brings to nothing the counsels of princes. 1
11But the counsel of the Lord endures for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation. 1
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance. 1
13The Lord looks out of heaven; he beholds all the sons of men. 1
14He looks from his prepared habitation on all the dwellers on the earth; 1
15who fashioned their hearts + 32:15 Perhaps 'individually.' Vulg. sigillatim. alone; who understands all their works. 1
16A king is not saved by reason of a great host; and a giant shall not be delivered by the greatness of his strength. 1
17A horse is vain for safety; neither shall he be delivered by the greatness of his power. 1
18Behold, the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him, those that hope in his mercy; 1
19to deliver their souls from death, and to keep them alive in famine. 1
20Our soul waits on the Lord; for he is our helper and defender. 1
21For our heart shall rejoice in him, and we have hoped in his holy name. 1
22Let your mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we have hoped in you.
