5 But I have made my sin known unto thee, and have not concealed my iniquity; I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord," and Thou hast taken away from me the guilt of my sin.

6 For this reason every righteous man shall pray unto thee in the time of need, and then the overflow of many waters shall not reach him.

7 Thou art my covering: Thou hast guarded me from sorrow, Thou hast surrounded me with the joys of deliverance.

8 "I will admonish thee, I will guide thee in the way in which thou shalt go; I will guide you, my eye is over you."

9 "Do not be like a horse, like a foolish hinny, whose jaws must be bridled with bridles and bits, so that they may obey you."

10 Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but mercy surrounds him that trusteth in the Lord.

11 Rejoice in the Lord, and rejoice, ye righteous; Rejoice, all ye who are upright in heart.

Psalm 32

[Psalm of David.]

1 Rejoice, ye righteous, in the Lord: it is fitting to praise the righteous.

2 Praise the Lord with the harp, sing to him with a ten-stringed psalter;

3 sing him a new song; sing to Him harmoniously, with an exclamation,

4 For the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are faithful.

5 He loves righteousness and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.

6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and by the spirit of his mouth all their host;

7 And he hath gathered together as heaps the waters of the sea, and hath laid the depths in the storehouses.

8 Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all that dwell in the world tremble before him;

9 for he spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it appeared.

10 The Lord destroys the counsels of the Gentiles, destroys the designs of the nations, [destroys the councils of princes].

11 But the counsel of the Lord endureth for ever; the thoughts of His heart are for generations and generations.

12 Blessed is the people whose God is the Lord, the tribe which he has chosen for his inheritance.
