Psalms 32:1-6

¹A psalm of David. How happy are those whose wrongs are forgiven, whose sins are covered.

²How happy are those whose sins the Lord does not count against them, those who do not act deceptively.

³When I kept quiet, my body fell apart as I groaned in distress all day long.

⁴You beat me day and night, my strength dried up as in the heat of summer. Selah.

⁵Then I confessed my sins to you. I did not hide the wrongs I had done. I said to myself, “I will confess my disobedience to the Lord,” and you forgave the guilt of my sins. Selah.

⁶Therefore let all who are faithful pray to you while there's time, so when trouble comes in like a flood it will not overwhelm them.
