Psalms 32:1-5

1Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is put out of sight!

2Yes, what joy for those whose record the Lord has cleared of guilt, whose lives are lived in complete honesty!

3When I refused to confess my sin, my body wasted away, and I groaned all day long.

4Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me. My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat. Interlude

5Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide my guilt. I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the Lord.” And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone. Interlude
