Psalms 32
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1A Psalm of David. Maschil. Happy is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is pardoned.
1A psalm for David. Rejoice in the Lord, O ye just: praise becometh the upright.
2Happy is the man unto whom the LORD counteth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
2Give praise to the Lord on the harp; sing to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings.
3When I kept silence, my bones wore away through my groaning all the day long.
3Sing to him a new canticle, sing well unto him with a loud noise.
4For day and night Thy hand was heavy upon me; my sap was turned as in the droughts of summer. Selah
4For the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are done with faithfulness.
5I acknowledged my sin unto Thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid; I said: 'I will make confession concerning my transgressions unto the LORD' — and Thou, Thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah
5He loveth mercy and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
6For this let every one that is godly pray unto Thee in a time when Thou mayest be found; surely, when the great waters overflow, they will not reach unto him.
6By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the power of them by the spirit of his mouth:
7Thou art my hiding-place; Thou wilt preserve me from the adversary; with songs of deliverance Thou wilt compass me about. Selah
7Gathering together the waters of the sea, as in a vessel; laying up the depths in storehouses.
8'I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go; I will give counsel, Mine eye being upon thee.'
8Let all the earth fear the Lord, and let all the inhabitants of the world be in awe of him.
9Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding; whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, that they come not near unto thee.
9For he spoke and they were made: he commanded and they were created.
10Many are the sorrows of the wicked; but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy compasseth him about.
10The Lord bringeth to naught the counsels of nations; and he rejecteth the devices of people, and casteth away the counsels of princes.
11Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous; and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
11But the counsel of the Lord standeth for ever: the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
