1A psalm for David. Rejoice in the Lord, O ye just: praise becometh the upright.
1Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2Give praise to the Lord on the harp; sing to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings.
2Blessed is the man to whom the LORD doesn’t impute iniquity, in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3Sing to him a new canticle, sing well unto him with a loud noise.
3When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
4For the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are done with faithfulness.
4For day and night your hand was heavy on me. My strength was sapped in the heat of summer. Selah.
5He loveth mercy and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
5I acknowledged my sin to you. I didn’t hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the LORD, and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
6By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the power of them by the spirit of his mouth:
6For this, let everyone who is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him.
7Gathering together the waters of the sea, as in a vessel; laying up the depths in storehouses.
7You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah.
8Let all the earth fear the Lord, and let all the inhabitants of the world be in awe of him.
8I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.
9For he spoke and they were made: he commanded and they were created.
9Don’t be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding, who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you.
10The Lord bringeth to naught the counsels of nations; and he rejecteth the devices of people, and casteth away the counsels of princes.
10Many sorrows come to the wicked, but loving kindness shall surround him who trusts in the LORD.
11But the counsel of the Lord standeth for ever: the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
11Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, you righteous! Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart!
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord: the people whom he hath chosen for his inheritance.
