Psalms 32:2-7

²Happy are those, free from falseness of spirit, to whom the Lord reckons no debt of guilt.

³When I held my peace, my bones wore away with my endless groaning;

⁴for day and night did your hand lie heavy upon me. The sap of my life was dried up as with fierce summer-heat. Selah

⁵I began to acknowledge my sin, not concealing my guilt; and the moment I vowed to confess to the Lord my transgression, then you yourself did pardon the guilt of my sin. Selah

⁶For this cause let all who are faithful pray to you in the time of distress; then, when the great waters rush, they will not reach to him.

⁷For you are my shelter, you protect me from trouble, and surround me with deliverance. Selah
