Psalm 32.1-4 A Maskil of David.

Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man against whom the LORD counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit. For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. Selah

What greater blessing could I ask, Lord, than to have my transgression forgiven, my sin covered, iniquity erased, and deceit removed? Out of my weakness and failure, You have brought healing and relief. You brought me to an understanding that all my efforts were of no avail; I had nothing left.

Psalm 32.5

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

But, Lord, when I confessed that I was weak and powerless before You, You were not silent, You were quick to forgive and restore.
