Tehillim (Psalms) 32
32
1Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered.
2Blessed is the man to whom יהוה imputes no crookedness, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3When I kept silent, my bones became old Through my groaning all the day.
4For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; My sap was turned into the droughts of summer. Selah.
5I acknowledged my sin to You, And my crookedness I did not hide. I have said, “I confess my transgressions to יהוה,” And You forgave the crookedness of my sin. Selah.
6Therefore, let every lovingly-committed one pray to You While You might be found; Even in a flood of great waters They would not reach him.
7You are my hiding place; You preserve me from distress; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah.
8“Let Me instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; Let Me counsel, My eye be on you.
9Do not be like the horse, like the mule, With no understanding, with bit and bridle, Else they do not come near you.”
10Many are the sorrows of the wrong; But as for the one trusting in יהוה, Loving-commitment surrounds him.
11Be glad in יהוה and exult, you righteous; And shout for joy, all you upright in heart!

The Joy of Forgiveness
1 #
Ro 4.7,8. Our Lord, you bless everyone
whose sins you forgive
and wipe away.
2You bless them by saying,
“You told me your sins,
without trying to hide them,
and now I forgive you.”
3Before I confessed my sins,
my bones felt limp,
and I groaned all day long.
4Night and day your hand
weighed heavily on me,
and my strength was gone
as in the summer heat.
5So I confessed my sins
and told them all to you.
I said, “I'll tell the Lord
each one of my sins.”
Then you forgave me
and took away my guilt.
6We worship you, Lord,
and we should always pray
whenever we find out
that we have sinned.#32.6 whenever … sinned: Hebrew “at a time of finding only.”
Then we won't be swept away
by a raging flood.
7You are my hiding place!
You protect me from trouble,
and you put songs in my heart
because you have saved me.
8You said to me,
“I will point out the road
that you should follow.
I will be your teacher
and watch over you.
9Don't be stupid
like horses and mules
that must be led with ropes
to make them obey.”
10All kinds of troubles
will strike the wicked,
but your kindness shields those
who trust you, Lord.
11And so your good people
should celebrate and shout.
