Psalm 31

1 In thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge;2 Bow down thine ear unto me; deliver me speedily:3 For thou art my rock and my fortress;4 Pluck me out of the net that they have laid privily for me;5 Into thy hand I commend my spirit:6 I hate them that regard lying vanities;7 I will be glad and rejoice in thy lovingkindness;8 And thou hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy;9 Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah, for I am in distress:10 For my life is spent with sorrow,11 Because of all mine adversaries I am become a reproach,12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind:13 For I have heard the defaming of many,14 But I trusted in thee, O Jehovah:15 My times are in thy hand:16 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant:17 Let me not be put to shame, O Jehovah; for I have called upon thee:18 Let the lying lips be dumb,19 Oh how great is thy goodness,20 In the covert of thy presence wilt thou hide them from the plottings of man:21 Blessed be Jehovah;22 As for me, I said in my haste,23 Oh love Jehovah, all ye his saints:24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage,

Psalm 32

1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,2 Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity,3 When I kept silence, my bones wasted away4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me:

5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee,

6 For this let every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found:7 Thou art my hiding-place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble;

8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go:9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding;10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked;11 Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous;

Psalm 33

1 Rejoice in Jehovah, O ye righteous:2 Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp:3 Sing unto him a new song;4 For the word of Jehovah is right;5 He loveth righteousness and justice:6 By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made,7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap:8 Let all the earth fear Jehovah:9 For he spake, and it was done;10 Jehovah bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought;11 The counsel of Jehovah standeth fast for ever,12 Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah,13 Jehovah looketh from heaven;14 From the place of his habitation he looketh forth15 He that fashioneth the hearts of them all,16 There is no king saved by the multitude of a host:17 A horse is a vain thing for safety;18 Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him,19 To deliver their soul from death,20 Our soul hath waited for Jehovah:21 For our heart shall rejoice in him,22 Let thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, be upon us,
