Confession and Forgiveness#Ps 32 Hebrew title: A poem by David.
1 #
Rom 4.7–8
Happy are those whose sins are forgiven,
whose wrongs are pardoned.
2Happy is the one whom the LORD does not accuse of doing wrong
and who is free from all deceit.
3When I did not confess my sins,
I was worn out from crying all day long.
4Day and night you punished me, LORD;
my strength was completely drained,
as moisture is dried up by the summer heat.
5Then I confessed my sins to you;
I did not conceal my wrongdoings.
I decided to confess them to you,
and you forgave all my sins.
6So all your loyal people should pray to you in times of need;#32.6 Some ancient translations need; Hebrew finding only.
when a great flood of trouble comes rushing in,
it will not reach them.
7You are my hiding place;
you will save me from trouble.
I sing aloud of your salvation,
because you protect me.
8The LORD says, “I will teach you the way you should go;
I will instruct you and advise you.
9Don't be stupid like a horse or a mule,
which must be controlled with a bit and bridle
to make it submit.”
10The wicked will have to suffer,
but those who trust in the LORD
are protected by his constant love.
11You that are righteous, be glad and rejoice
because of what the LORD has done.
You that obey him, shout for joy!

Psalm 32
A psalm by David; a maskil.#32:0 Unknown musical term.
1Blessed is the person whose disobedience is forgiven
and whose sin is pardoned.
2Blessed is the person whom the Lord no longer accuses of sin
and who has no deceitful thoughts.
3When I kept silent ⌞about my sins⌟,
my bones began to weaken because of my groaning all day long.
4Day and night your hand laid heavily on me.
My strength shriveled in the summer heat. Selah
5I made my sins known to you, and I did not cover up my guilt.
I decided to confess them to you, O Lord.
Then you forgave all my sins. Selah
6For this reason let all godly people pray to you
when you may be found.
Then raging floodwater will not reach them.
7You are my hiding place.
You protect me from trouble.
You surround me with joyous songs of salvation. Selah
8 ⌞The Lord says,⌟
“I will instruct you.
I will teach you the way that you should go.
I will advise you as my eyes watch over you.
9Don’t be stubborn like a horse or mule.
⌞They need⌟ a bit and bridle in their mouth to restrain them,
or they will not come near you.”
10Many heartaches await wicked people,
but mercy surrounds those who trust the Lord.
11Be glad and find joy in the Lord, you righteous people.
Sing with joy, all whose motives are decent.
