Psalm xxxii. Beati, quorum. DLESSED is he whose unrighteousness | is. D for given : and l • whose sin · is covered.

2 Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord im puteth • no sin : and in whose spirit · there | is .no | guile.

3 For while I | held • my tongue : my bones consumed a way through my | daily.com | plaining.

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 un righteousness have I · not hid.

6 I said, I will confess my sins un i to · the Lord: and so thou forgavest the wicked • ness | 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.

Psalm xxxii. Exultate, justi. DEJOICE in the Lord, 10. ye righteous :

A for it becometh | well'. the just to · bel thankful.

2 Praise the Lord. with harp: sing praises unto him with the lute, and I instrument of ten strings.

3 Sing unto the Lord a · new | song: sing praises lustily unto him · with a 1 good courage.

4 For the word of the Lord · is true: and I all · his works · are faithful.

5 He loveth / righteous · ness and judgement : the earth is full of the good · ness of the Lord.

6 By the word of the Lord were the hea · vens I made: and all the hosts of them by the breath of . his mouth.

7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together, as it were up | on an | heap: and layeth up the deep, . as I in a | t easure house.

8 Let all the earth I fear · the | Lord: stand in awe of him, all | ye · that | iwell · in the world.

9 For he spake, and I it · was done: he com manded, . and it stood | fast.

10 The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen .to | nought: and maketh the devices of the people to be of none effect, and | casteth · out the counsels of princes.

11 The counsel of the Lord shall en dure · for 1 ever: and the thoughts of his heart from gener | ation · to gener | ation.

12 Blessed are the people, whose God is the | Lord · Je hovah: and blessed are the folk, that he hath chosen to i him to l be · his inheritance.

13 The Lord looked down from heaven, and beheld all the children of | men: from the habita- : tion of his dwelling he considereth all them · that | dwell · on the l earth.

14 He fashioneth all the hearts • of them: and under stan · deth | all · their | works.

5 There is no king that can be saved by the multitude of · an | host: neither is any mighty man de liver · ed by · much | strength.

16 A horse is counted but a vain thing to save · al man: neither shall he deliver any | man · by his great strength.

17 Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them · that ! fear him: and upon them that I put their trust in · his | mercy.

18 To deliver their | soul. from | death : and to | feed them · in the time · of | dearth. "19 Our soul hath patiently tarried for · the Lord: for he is our help, , and · our l'shield.

20 For our heart shall rejoice · in him: because we have hoped . in his ho· ly | Name.

21 Let thy merciful kindness, O Lord, I be up. on | us: like as we do I put · our | trust in thee.

17 The righteous cry, and the Lord | heareth them: and delivereth them out of | all their | troubles.

18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a | con • trite | heart: and will save such as be of an | hum · ble | spirit.

19 Great are the troubles · of the righteous : hut the Lord de | livereth · him out of | all.

20 He keepeth / all · his | bones: so that not | one of them is broken.

21 But misfortune shall / slay the • un godly: and they that hate the righteous shall be | desolate.

22 The Lord delivereth the souls of his | servants : and all they that put their trust in | him · shall | not be destitute.
