Psalm 32

 ¹ Happy is the person
       whose sins are forgiven,
       whose wrongs are pardoned.
 ² Happy is the person
       whom the Lord does not consider guilty
       and in whom there is nothing false.

 ³ When I kept things to myself,
       I felt weak deep inside me.
       I moaned all day long. 
 ⁴ Day and night you punished me.
       My strength was gone as in the summer heat.   
                         Selah

 ⁵ Then I confessed my sins to you
       and didn't hide my guilt.
    I said, "I will confess my sins to the Lord,"
       and you forgave my guilt.   
                         Selah


 ⁶ For this reason, all who obey you
       should pray to you while they still can.
    When troubles rise like a flood,
       they will not reach them. 
 ⁷ You are my hiding place.
       You protect me from my troubles
       and fill me with songs of salvation.   
                         Selah
 

 ⁸ The Lord says, "I will make you wise and show you where to go.
       I will guide you and watch over you.
 ⁹ So don't be like a horse or donkey,
       that doesn't understand.
    They must be led with bits and reins,
       or they will not come near you."

 ¹⁰ Wicked people have many troubles,
       but the Lord's love surrounds those who trust him. 
 ¹¹ Good people, rejoice and be happy in the Lord.
       Sing all you whose hearts are right.  (Psalm 32, New Century Version) Pin It Now!
