THE PSALTER, Fourth Kathisma
Psalm Thirty-One LXX (Ps. 32, Masoretic)
King James Version.
Chapter 31
- Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is
covered.
- Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and
in whose spirit there is no guile.
- When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all
the day long.
- For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is
turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
- I acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid.
I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou
forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
- For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time
when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they
shall not come nigh unto him.
- Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble;
thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
- I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt
go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
- Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no
understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest
they come near unto thee.
- Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the
LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
- Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for
joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
