32:1Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
32:2Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
32:3When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
32:4For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
32:5I acknowledged 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.
32:6For 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.
32:7Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
32:8I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
32:9Be 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.
32:10Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
32:11Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
42:1As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
42:2My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
42:3My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
42:4When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.
42:5Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.
42:6O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.
42:7Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
42:8Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.
42:9I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
42:10As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?
42:11Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
44:1We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.
44:2How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.
44:3For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.
44:4Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.
44:5Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
44:6For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
44:7But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.
44:8In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.
44:9But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.
44:10Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.
44:11Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen.
44:12Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price.
44:13Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.
44:14Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.
44:15My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
44:16For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger.
44:17All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
44:18Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way;
44:19Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.
44:20If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;
44:21Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
44:22Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
44:23Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.
44:24Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
44:25For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth.
44:26Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.
