Psalms 32-33
Chapter 32
Psalm 32
The Joy of Forgiveness
Davidic. A Maskil.
1 How joyful is the one
whose transgression is forgiven,
whose sin is covered!(a)
2 How joyful is the man
the
Lord
does not charge with sin(b)
and in whose spirit is no deceit!(c)
3 When I kept silent, my bones became brittle
from my groaning all day long.(d)
4 For day and night Your hand was heavy on me;(e)
my strength was drained[a]
as in the summer's heat.(f)
5 Then I acknowledged my sin to You
and did not conceal my iniquity.
I said,
"I will confess my transgressions to the
Lord
,"
and You took away the guilt of my sin.(g)
6 Therefore let everyone who is faithful pray to You
at a time that You may be found.[b](h)
When great floodwaters come,
they will not reach him.(i)
7 You are my hiding place;(j)
You protect me from trouble.(k)
You surround me with joyful shouts of deliverance.
8 I will instruct you and show you the way to go;(l)
with My eye on you, I will give counsel.(m)
9 Do not be like a horse or mule,
without understanding,
that must be controlled with bit and bridle
or else it will not come near you.(n)
10 Many pains come to the wicked,(o)
but the one who trusts in the
Lord
will have faithful love surrounding him.(p)
11 Be glad in the
Lord
and rejoice,
you righteous ones;
shout for joy,
all you upright in heart.(q)
Chapter 33
Psalm 33
Praise to the Creator
1 Rejoice in the
Lord
, you righteous ones;
praise from the upright is beautiful.(a)
2 Praise the
Lord
with the lyre;
make music to Him with a ten-stringed harp.(b)
3 Sing a new song to Him;(c)
play skillfully on the strings, with a joyful shout.(d)
4 For the word of the
Lord
is right,
and all His work is trustworthy.(e)
5 He loves righteousness and justice;(f)
the earth is full of the
Lord
's unfailing love.(g)
6 The heavens were made by the word of the
Lord
,(h)
and all the stars, by the breath of His mouth.(i)
7 He gathers the waters of the sea into a heap;[a]
He puts the depths into storehouses.(j)
8 Let the whole earth tremble before the
Lord
;
let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.(k)
9 For He spoke, and it came into being;
He commanded, and it came into existence.(l)
10 The
Lord
frustrates the counsel of the nations;
He thwarts the plans of the peoples.(m)
11 The counsel of the
Lord
stands forever,
the plans of His heart from generation to generation.(n)
12 Happy is the nation whose God is Yahweh—
the people He has chosen to be His own possession!(o)
13 The
Lord
looks down from heaven;
He observes everyone.(p)
14 He gazes on all the inhabitants of the earth
from His dwelling place.(q)
15 He alone shapes their hearts;
He considers all their works.(r)
16 A king is not saved by a large army;
a warrior will not be delivered by great strength.(s)
17 The horse is a false hope for safety;
it provides no escape by its great power.(t)
18 Now the eye of the
Lord
is on those who fear Him—
those who depend on His faithful love(u)
19 to deliver them from death
and to keep them alive in famine.(v)
20 We wait for Yahweh;(w)
He is our help and shield.(x)
21 For our hearts rejoice in Him(y)
because we trust in His holy name.(z)
22 May Your faithful love rest on us, Yahweh,
for we put our hope in You.(aa)
