32 Psalmus David. Exsultate, justi, in Domino; rectos decet collaudatio.

Confitemini Domino in cithara; in psalterio decem chordarum psallite illi.

Cantate ei canticum novum; bene psallite ei in vociferatione.

Quia rectum est verbum Domini, et omnia opera ejus in fide.

Diligit misericordiam et judicium; misericordia Domini plena est terra.

Verbo Domini caeli firmati sunt, et spiritu oris ejus omnis virtus eorum.

Congregans sicut in utre aquas maris; ponens in thesauris abyssos.

Timeat Dominum omnis terra; ab eo autem commoveantur omnes inhabitantes orbem.

Quoniam ipse dixit, et facta sunt; ipse mandavit et creata sunt.

10 Dominus dissipat consilia gentium; reprobat autem cogitationes populorum, et reprobat consilia principum.

11 Consilium autem Domini in aeternum manet; cogitationes cordis ejus in generatione et generationem.

12 Beata gens cujus est Dominus Deus ejus; populus quem elegit in haereditatem sibi.

13 De caelo respexit Dominus; vidit omnes filios hominum.

14 De praeparato habitaculo suo respexit super omnes qui habitant terram:

15 qui finxit sigillatim corda eorum; qui intelligit omnia opera eorum.

16 Non salvatur rex per multam virtutem, et gigas non salvabitur in multitudine virtutis suae.

17 Fallax equus ad salutem; in abundantia autem virtutis suae non salvabitur.

18 Ecce oculi Domini super metuentes eum, et in eis qui sperant super misericordia ejus:

19 ut eruat a morte animas eorum, et alat eos in fame.

20 Anima nostra sustinet Dominum, quoniam adjutor et protector noster est.

21 Quia in eo laetabitur cor nostrum, et in nomine sancto ejus speravimus.

22 Fiat misericordia tua, Domine, super nos, quemadmodum speravimus in te.

Psalm 32

Of David. A maskil.[a]

Blessed is the one
    whose transgressions are forgiven,
    whose sins are covered.(A)
Blessed is the one
    whose sin the Lord does not count against them(B)
    and in whose spirit is no deceit.(C)

When I kept silent,(D)
    my bones wasted away(E)
    through my groaning(F) all day long.
For day and night
    your hand was heavy(G) on me;
my strength was sapped(H)
    as in the heat of summer.[b]

Then I acknowledged my sin to you
    and did not cover up my iniquity.(I)
I said, “I will confess(J)
    my transgressions(K) to the Lord.”
And you forgave
    the guilt of my sin.(L)

Therefore let all the faithful pray to you
    while you may be found;(M)
surely the rising(N) of the mighty waters(O)
    will not reach them.(P)
You are my hiding place;(Q)
    you will protect me from trouble(R)
    and surround me with songs of deliverance.(S)

I will instruct(T) you and teach you(U) in the way you should go;
    I will counsel you with my loving eye on(V) you.
Do not be like the horse or the mule,
    which have no understanding
but must be controlled by bit and bridle(W)
    or they will not come to you.
10 Many are the woes of the wicked,(X)
    but the Lord’s unfailing love
    surrounds the one who trusts(Y) in him.

11 Rejoice in the Lord(Z) and be glad, you righteous;
    sing, all you who are upright in heart!
