Therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth;

And with my song will I praise him.

8  The Lord is ||their strength,

4  The voice of the Lord is †powerful;

7  The voice of the Lord †divideth the flames of fire.

8  The voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness;

The Lord will bless his people with peace.

Psalm 30

*A *Psalm and Song †at the dedication of the house of David.

1  aI will extol thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up,

And hast aanot made my foes to rejoice over me.

2  O Lord my God, bI cried unto thee, and thou hast bbhealed me.

3  O Lord, cthou hast brought up my soul from dthe grave:

Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not ego down to the pit.

4  Sing unto the Lord, O ye fsaints of his,

And give thanks ||at the remembrance of his holiness.

5  For g†his anger endureth but a moment; hin his favour is life:

iWeeping may endure †for a night, but †joy cometh jin the morning.

6  And kin my prosperity I said,

lI shall never be moved.

7  Lord, by thy favour thou hast †made my mountain to stand strong:

mThou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

8  I cried to thee, O Lord;

And mmunto the Lord I made supplication.

9  What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit?

nShall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

10  oHear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me:

Lord, be thou my helper.

11  Thou hast turned for me my mourning pinto dancing:

Thou hast put off my qsackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

12  To the end that ||my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent.

O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

Psalm 31

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

1  aIn thee, O Lord, do I put my trust;

aLet me never be ashamed:

bDeliver me in thy righteousness.

2  cBow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily:

Be thou †my strong rock,

For an house of ddefence to save me.

3  dFor thou art my rock and my fortress;

Therefore efor thy name’s sake flead me, and gguide me.

4  hPull me out of the inet that they have laid privily for me:

For iithou art my strength.

5  jInto thine hand I commit my spirit:

Thou hast redeemed me, O Lord kGod of truth.

6  lI have hated them that mregard lying vanities:

But nI trust in the Lord.

7  I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy:

For thou hast considered my trouble;

Thou hast oknown my soul in adversities;

8  And hast not pshut me up into the hand of the enemy:

Thou hast set my feet qin a large room.

9  rHave mercy upon me, O Lord, for rrI am in trouble:

sMine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.

10  For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing:

My strength faileth because of mine tiniquity, and umy bones are consumed.

11  I was a reproach among all mine enemies,

But wespecially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine xacquaintance:

yThey that did see me without fled from me.

12  I zam forgotten as a dead man out of mind:

I am like †a broken vessel.

13  aFor I have heard the slander of many:

abFear was on every side:

While they took counsel together against me,

They devised to take away my life.

14  But cI trusted in thee, O Lord:

I said, Thou art my God.

15  dMy times are in thy hand:

eDeliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and efrom them that persecute me.

16  fMake thy face to shine upon thy servant:

Save me for thy mercies’ sake.

17  gLet me not be ashamed, O Lord; for I have called upon thee:

Let the wicked be ashamed, and h||let them be silent in the grave.

18  Let the lying lips be put to silence;

Which speak †grievous things iproudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

19  Oh how great is thy goodness, kwhich thou hast laid up for them that fear thee;

Which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee

lBefore the sons of men!

20  Thou shalt hide them in mthe secret of thy presence from the pride of man:

Thou shalt nokeep them secretly in a pavilion from othe strife of tongues.

21  Blessed be the Lord: for phe hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a ||strong city.

22  For qI said in my haste, rI am cut off sfrom before thine eyes:

Nevertheless thou heardest ssthe voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.

23  O love the Lord, all ye his tsaints:

For the Lord preserveth the faithful,

And plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.

24  uBe of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart,

All ye that xhope in the Lord.

Psalm 32

||A Psalm of David, Maschil.

1  aBlessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

2  Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord bimputeth not iniquity,

And cin whose spirit there is no guile.

3  When I kept silence, dmy bones waxed old

Through my eroaring all the day long.

4  For day and night thy fhand was heavy upon me:

My gmoisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

5  I hacknowledged my sin unto thee,

And mine iniquity have I not hid.

iI said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord;

And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

6  For this shall every one that is iigodly pray unto thee j†in a time when thou mayest be found:

Surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.

7  Thou art my khiding place; thou shalt preserve me lfrom trouble;

Thou shalt compass me about with msongs of deliverance. Selah.

8  I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go:

†I will guide thee with mine eye.

9  nBe ye not as the horse,

Or as the mule, which have no understanding:

oWhose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle,

Lest they come near unto thee.

10  pMany sorrows shall be to the wicked:

But qhe that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass him about.

11  rBe glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye righteous:

And sshout for joy, all ye that are tupright in heart.

Psalm 33

1  Rejoice ain the Lord, O ye righteous:

For bpraise is comely for the upright.

2  Praise the Lord with charp:

Sing unto him with the cpsaltery dand an instrument of ten strings.

3  Sing unto him ea new song;

Play skilfully fwith a loud noise.

4  For the word of the Lord is right;

And all his works are done ffin truth.

5  gHe loveth righteousness and judgment:

hThe earth is full of the ||goodness of the Lord.

6  iBy the word of the Lord were the heavens made;

And kall the host of them lby the breath of his mouth.

7  He gathereth the waters of the sea together mas an heap:

nHe layeth up the depth in storehouses.

8  Let all the earth fear the Lord:

Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

9  For ohe spake, and it was done;

He commanded, and it stood fast.

10  pThe Lord †bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought:

He maketh the devices of the people of none effect.

11  qThe counsel of the Lord standeth for ever,

The thoughts of his heart †to all generations.

12  rBlessed is the nation whose God is the Lord;

And the people whom he hath schosen for his own inheritance.

13  tThe Lord looketh from heaven;

He beholdeth all the sons of men.

14  From uthe place of his habitation he wlooketh

Upon all the inhabitants of the earth.

15  He fashioneth their hearts alike;

xHe wconsidereth all their works.

16  yThere is no king saved by the multitude of an host:

A mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

17  zAn horse is a vain thing for safety:

Neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

18  Behold, athe eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him,

bUpon them that hope in his mercy;

19  cTo deliver their soul from death,

And to keep them alive din famine.

20  eOur soul fwaiteth for the Lord:

He is gour help and our shield.

21  For our hheart shall rejoice in him,

Because we have itrusted in his holy name.

22  Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us,

According as we bhope in thee.

Psalm 34

A Psalm of David, when ahe changed his behaviour before ||Abimelech; who bdrove him away, and bhe departed.

1  I will bless the Lord cat all times:

His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

2  dMy soul shall emake her boast in the Lord:

The humble shall hear thereof, and eebe glad.

3  O fmagnify the Lord with me,

And let us exalt his name together.

4  I gsought the Lord, and he hheard me,

And delivered me from all my fears.

5  They looked unto him, and ||were lightened:

And their faces were not ashamed.

6  This poor man hcried, and the Lord heard him,

And isaved him out of all his troubles.

7  kThe angel of the Lord lencampeth

Round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

8  O mtaste and see that mmthe Lord is good:

nBlessed is the man that otrusteth in him.

9  O fear the Lord, ye his saints:

For there is no want to them that fear him.

10  pThe young lions do lack, and suffer hunger:

But qthey that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.

11  qqCome, ye children, hearken unto me:

I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

12  rWhat man is he that desireth life,

And loveth many days, that he may ssee good?

13  tKeep thy tongue from evil,

And thy lips from uspeaking guile.

14  wDepart from evil, and do good;

Seek peace, and xpursue it.

15  yThe eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous,

And zhis ears are open unto their cry.

16  aThe face of the Lord is against them that do evil,

bTo cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

17  bbThe righteous cry, and cthe Lord heareth,

cAnd delivereth them out of all their troubles.
