PSALM 32. _Beati quorum_.
Blessed is he whose unrighteousness is forgiven: and whose sin is
covered.
2 Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth no sin: and in
whose spirit there is no guile.
3 For while I held my tongue: my bones consumed away through my
daily complaining.
4 For thy hand is heavy upon me day and night: and my moisture is
like the drought in summer.
5 I will acknowledge my sin unto thee: and mine unrighteousness
have I not hid.
6 I said, I will confess my sins unto the Lord: and so thou
forgavest the wickedness of my sin.
7 For this shall every one that is godly make his prayer unto
thee, in a time when thou mayest be found: but in the great
water-floods they shall not come nigh him.
8 Thou art a place to hide me in, thou shalt preserve me from
trouble: thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance.
9 I will inform thee, and teach thee in the way wherein thou shalt
go: and I will guide thee with mine eye.
10 Be ye not like to horse and mule, which have no understanding:
whose mouths must be held with bit and bridle, lest they fall upon
thee.
11 Great plagues remain for the ungodly: but whoso putteth his
trust in the Lord, mercy embraceth him on every side.
12 Be glad, O ye righteous, and rejoice in the Lord: and be joyful,
all ye that are true of heart.
PSALM 33. _Exultate, justi_.
Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for it becometh well the just
to be thankful.
2 Praise the Lord with harp: sing praises unto him with the lute,
and instrument of ten strings.
3 Sing unto the Lord a new song: sing praises lustily unto him
with a good courage.
