PSALM Thirty Two

Psalm of David. 

A maskil.

1 

Blessed is the one

    whose transgressions are forgiven,

    whose sins are covered.

2 

Blessed is the one

    whose sin the Lord does not count against them

    and in whose spirit is no deceit.

3 

When I kept silent,

    my bones wasted away

    through my groaning all day long.

4 

For day and night

    your hand was heavy on me;

my strength was sapped

    as in the heat of summer.

5 

Then I acknowledged my sin to you

    and did not cover up my iniquity.

I said, ‘I will confess

    my transgressions to the Lord.’

And you forgave

    the guilt of my sin.

6 

Therefore let all the faithful pray to you

    while you may be found;

surely the rising of the mighty waters

    will not reach them.

7 

You are my hiding-place;

    you will protect me from trouble

    and surround me with songs of deliverance.

8 

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;

    I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.

9 

Do not be like the horse or the mule,

    which have no understanding

but must be controlled by bit and bridle

    or they will not come to you.

10 

Many are the woes of the wicked,

    but the Lord’s unfailing love

    surrounds the one who trusts in him.

11 

Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you righteous;

    sing, all you who are upright in heart!

PSALM Thirty One

 For the director of music. 

A psalm of David.

1 

In you, Lord, I have taken refuge;

    let me never be put to shame;

    deliver me in your righteousness.

2 

Turn your ear to me,

    come quickly to my rescue;

be my rock of refuge,

    a strong fortress to save me.

3 

Since you are my rock and my fortress,

    for the sake of your name lead and guide me.

4 

Keep me free from the trap that is set for me,

    for you are my refuge.

5 

Into your hands I commit my spirit;

    deliver me, Lord, my faithful God.

6 

I hate those who cling to worthless idols;

    as for me, I trust in the Lord.

7 

I will be glad and rejoice in your love,

    for you saw my affliction

    and knew the anguish of my soul.

8 

You have not given me into the hands of the enemy

    but have set my feet in a spacious place.

9 

Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am in distress;

    my eyes grow weak with sorrow,

    my soul and body with grief.

10 

My life is consumed by anguish

    and my years by groaning;

my strength fails because of my affliction,

    and my bones grow weak.

11 

Because of all my enemies,

    I am the utter contempt of my neighbours

and an object of dread to my closest friends –

    those who see me on the street flee from me.

12 

I am forgotten as though I were dead;

    I have become like broken pottery.

13 

For I hear many whispering,

    ‘Terror on every side!’

They conspire against me

    and plot to take my life.

14 

But I trust in you, Lord;

    I say, ‘You are my God.’

15 

My times are in your hands;

    deliver me from the hands of my enemies,

    from those who pursue me.

16 

Let your face shine on your servant;

    save me in your unfailing love.

17 

Let me not be put to shame, Lord,

    for I have cried out to you;

but let the wicked be put to shame

    and be silent in the realm of the dead.

18 

Let their lying lips be silenced,

    for with pride and contempt

    they speak arrogantly against the righteous.

19 

How abundant are the good things

    that you have stored up for those who fear you,

that you bestow in the sight of all,

    on those who take refuge in you.

20 

In the shelter of your presence you hide them

    from all human intrigues;

you keep them safe in your dwelling

    from accusing tongues.

21 

Praise be to the Lord,

    for he showed me the wonders of his love

    when I was in a city under siege.

22 

In my alarm I said,

    ‘I am cut off from your sight!’

Yet you heard my cry for mercy

    when I called to you for help.

23 

Love the Lord, all his faithful people!

    The Lord preserves those who are true to him,

    but the proud he pays back in full.

24 

Be strong and take heart,

    all you who hope in the Lord.

PSALM Thirty

A psalm of David.

 A song.

 For the dedication of the temple. 

 1 

I will exalt you, Lord,

    for you lifted me out of the depths

    and did not let my enemies gloat over me.

2 

Lord my God, I called to you for help,

    and you healed me.

3 

You, Lord, brought me up from the realm of the dead;

    you spared me from going down to the pit.

4 

Sing the praises of the Lord, you his faithful people;

    praise his holy name.

5 

For his anger lasts only a moment,

    but his favour lasts a lifetime;

weeping may stay for the night,

    but rejoicing comes in the morning.

6 

When I felt secure, I said,

    ‘I shall never be shaken.’

7 

Lord, when you favoured me,

    you made my royal mountain stand firm;

but when you hid your face,

    I was dismayed.

8 

To you, Lord, I called;

    to the Lord I cried for mercy:

9 

‘What is gained if I am silenced,

    if I go down to the pit?

Will the dust praise you?

    Will it proclaim your faithfulness?

10 

Hear, Lord, and be merciful to me;

    Lord, be my help.’

11 

You turned my wailing into dancing;

    you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,

12 

that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent.

    Lord my God, I will praise you for ever.
