Psalms 32-33
Chapter 32
Blessedness of Forgiveness and of Trust in God.
1 (C1)How blessed is he whose wrongdoing is forgiven,
Whose sin is covered!
2 How blessed is a person whose guilt the LORD (C1)does not take into account,
And in whose spirit there is (C2)no deceit!
3 When (C1)I kept silent about my sin, (C2)my (F1)body wasted away
Through my (F2)(C3)groaning all day long.
4 For day and night (C1)Your hand was heavy upon me;
My (F1)(C2)vitality failed as with the dry heat of summer. Selah
5 I (C1)acknowledged my sin to You,
And I (C2)did not hide my guilt;
I said, "(C3)I will confess my wrongdoings to the LORD";
And You (C4)forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah
6 Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You (F1)(C1)in a time when You may be found;
Certainly (C2)in a flood of great waters, they will not reach him.
7 You are (C1)my hiding place; You (C2)keep me from trouble;
You surround me with (F1)(C3)songs of deliverance. Selah
8 I will (C1)instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go;
I will advise you (C2)with My eye upon you.
9 Do not be (C1)like the horse or like the mule, which have no understanding,
Whose trappings include bit and bridle to hold them in check,
Otherwise they will not come near to you.
10 The (C1)sorrows of the wicked are many,
But (C2)the one who trusts in the LORD, goodness will surround him.
11 Be (C1)glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous ones;
And shout for joy, all you who are (C2)upright in heart.
Chapter 33
Praise to the Creator and Protector.
1 (C1)Sing for joy in the LORD, you righteous ones;
Praise is (C2)becoming to the upright.
2 Give thanks to the LORD with the (C1)lyre;
Sing praises to Him with a (C2)harp of ten strings.
3 Sing to Him a (C1)new song;
Play skillfully with (C2)a shout of joy.
4 For the word of the LORD (C1)is right,
And all His work is done (C2)in faithfulness.
5 He (C1)loves righteousness and justice;
The (C2)earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.
6 By the (C1)word of the LORD the heavens were made,
And (C2)by the breath of His mouth (C3)all their (F1)lights.
7 He gathers the (C1)waters of the sea together (F1)as a heap;
He puts the depths in storehouses.
8 Let (C1)all the earth fear the LORD;
Let all the inhabitants of the world (C2)stand in awe of Him.
9 For (C1)He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it (F1)stood firm.
10 The LORD (C1)nullifies the plan of nations;
He frustrates the plans of peoples.
11 The (C1)plan of the LORD stands forever,
The (C2)plans of His heart from generation to generation.
12 Blessed is the (C1)nation whose God is the LORD,
The people He has (C2)chosen for His own inheritance.
13 The LORD (C1)looks from heaven;
He (C2)sees all the sons of mankind;
14 From (C1)His dwelling place He looks out
On all the inhabitants of the earth,
15 He who (C1)fashions (F1)the hearts of them all,
He who (C2)understands all their works.
16 (C1)The king is not saved by a mighty army;
A warrior is not rescued by great strength.
17 A (C1)horse is a false hope for victory;
Nor does it rescue anyone by its great strength.
18 Behold, (C1)the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him,
On those who (C2)wait for His faithfulness,
19 To (C1)rescue their soul from death
And to keep them alive (C2)in famine.
20 Our soul (C1)waits for the LORD;
He is our (C2)help and our shield.
21 For our (C1)heart rejoices in Him,
Because we trust in His holy name.
22 Let Your favor, LORD, be upon us,
Just as we have waited for You.
