1(33) [A Psalm] of David. Rejoice in the Lord, you⌃ righteous; praise becomes the upright.
1Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2Praise the Lord on the harp; platy to him on a lute of ten strings.
2Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3Sing to him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise.
3When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
4For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are faithful.
4For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
5He loves mercy and judgment; the earth is full the mercy of the Lord.
5I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
6By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the host of them by the breath of his [mouth].
6For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.
7Who gathers the waters of the sea as [in] a bottle; who lays up the deeps in treasuries.
7Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
8Let all the earth fear the Lord; and let all that dwell in the world be moved because of him.
8I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
9For he spoke, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.
9Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.
10The Lord frustrates the counsels of the nations; he brings to nothing also the reasonings of the peoples, and brings to nothing the counsels of princes.
10Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass him about.
11But the counsel of the Lord endures for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
11Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
