32 A MASKIL OF DAVID.
--
1 Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
--
2 Blessed is the man against whom the LORD counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
--
3 For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
--
4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. Selah
--
5 I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah
--
6 Therefore let everyone who is godly offer prayer to you at a time when you may be found; surely in the rush of great waters, they shall not reach him.
--
7 You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah
--
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.
--
9 Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, or it will not stay near you.
--
10 Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the LORD.
--
11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!
- Honesty brings healing.
- Hiding hurts us.
- Forgiveness frees and teaches us.
- Stop hiding, and start healing!
