1(33) [A Psalm] of David. Rejoice in the Lord, you⌃ righteous; praise becomes the upright.
1By David. A contemplative psalm. Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2Praise the Lord on the harp; platy to him on a lute of ten strings.
2Blessed is the man to whom Yahweh doesn’t impute iniquity, in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3Sing to him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise.
3When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
4For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are faithful.
4For day and night your hand was heavy on me. My strength was sapped in the heat of summer. Selah.
5He loves mercy and judgment; the earth is full the mercy of the Lord.
5I 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.
6By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the host of them by the breath of his [mouth].
6For 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.
7Who gathers the waters of the sea as [in] a bottle; who lays up the deeps in treasuries.
7You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah.
8Let all the earth fear the Lord; and let all that dwell in the world be moved because of him.
8I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.
9For he spoke, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.
9Don’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.
10The Lord frustrates the counsels of the nations; he brings to nothing also the reasonings of the peoples, and brings to nothing the counsels of princes.
10Many sorrows come to the wicked, but loving kindness shall surround him who trusts in Yahweh.
11But the counsel of the Lord endures for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
11Be glad in Yahweh, and rejoice, you righteous! Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart!
