A contemplative psalm.>> Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is covered. 032:002 Blessed is the man to whom Yahweh doesn't impute iniquity, in whose spirit there is no deceit. 032:003 When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. 032:004 For day and night your hand was heavy on me. My strength was sapped in the heat of summer. Selah. 032:005 I acknowledged my sin to you. I didn't hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh, and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah. 032:006 For 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. 032:007 You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah. 032:008 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you. 032:009 Don'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. 032:010 Many sorrows come to the wicked, but loving kindness shall surround him who trusts in Yahweh. 032:011 Be glad in Yahweh, and rejoice, you righteous! Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart! 033:001 Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright. 033:002 Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings. 033:003 Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy! 033:004 For the word of Yahweh is right. All his work is done in faithfulness. 033:005 He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of Yahweh. 033:006 By Yahweh's word, the heavens were made; all their army by the breath of his mouth. 033:007 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses. 033:008 Let all the earth fear Yahweh. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. 033:009 For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm. 033:010 Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect. 033:011 The counsel of Yahweh stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. 033:012 Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance. 033:013 Yahweh looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men. 033:014 From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth, 033:015 he who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of their works. 033:016 There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
