Psalm 32 — The Holy Bible

By David.

Rejoice greatly in the Lord, O righteous ones;

Praise is fitting for the upright.

Give thanks to the Lord on the lyre;

Sing praises to Him on a ten-stringed instrument.

Sing to Him a new song;

Sing praises beautifully with a shout.

For the word of the Lord is right,

And all His works are done in faithfulness.

He loves mercy and judgment;

The earth is full of the Lord's mercy.

By the word of the Lord the heavens were established,

And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth,

Who gathers the waters of the sea together as in a wineskin,

Who put the abysses in storehouses.

Let all the earth fear the Lord,

And let all the world's inhabitants be shaken by Him;

For He spoke, and they were made;

He commanded, and they were created.

The Lord scatters abroad the counsels of the nations,

And He sets aside the reasoning of peoples;

And He rejects the counsels of rulers.

The counsel of the Lord abides forever,

The thoughts of His heart from generation to generation.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,

The people He chose as an inheritance for Himself.

The Lord looked attentively from heaven;

He saw all the sons of men.

From His prepared dwelling-place,

He looked upon all who dwell on the earth,

He who alone fashioned their hearts,

He who understands all their works.

A king is not saved by his large army,

And a giant shall not be saved by his immense strength;

A horse is a false hope for salvation,

And it shall not be saved by its enormous power.

Behold, the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear Him,

On those who hope in His mercy,

To deliver their souls from death

And to keep them alive in famine.

Our soul shall wait for the Lord;

He is our helper and protector;

For our heart shall be glad in Him,

And we hope in His holy name.

Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us,

As we hope in You.
