Chapter 32
(Passion Bible)
Psalms 32
Ready to read
1
A poem of insight and instruction, by King David[1] How happy and fulfilled are those whose rebellion has been forgiven,[2] those whose sins are covered by blood.
2
How blessed and relieved are those who have confessed their corruption[3] to God! For he wipes their slates clean and removes hypocrisy from their hearts.
3
Before I confessed my sins, I kept it all inside; my dishonesty devastated my inner life, causing my life to be filled with frustration, irrepressible anguish, and misery.
4
The pain never let up, for your hand of conviction was heavy on my heart. My strength was sapped, my inner life dried up like a spiritual drought within my soul. — Pause in his presence
5
Then I finally admitted to you all my sins, refusing to hide them any longer. I said, “My life-giving God, I will openly acknowledge my evil actions.” And you forgave me! All at once the guilt of my sin washed away and all my pain disappeared! — Pause in his presence
6
This is what I’ve learned through it all: All believers should confess their sins to God; do it every time God has uncovered you in the time of exposing. For if you do this, when sudden storms of life overwhelm, you’ll be kept safe.[4]
7
Lord, you are my secret hiding place, protecting me from these troubles, surrounding me with songs of gladness! Your joyous shouts of rescue release my breakthrough. — Pause in his presence
8
[8–9] I hear the Lord saying, “I will stay close to you, instructing and guiding you along the pathway for your life. I will advise you along the way and lead you forth with my eyes as your guide. So don’t make it difficult; don’t be stubborn when I take you where you’ve not been before. Don’t make me tug you and pull you along. Just come with me!”
9
10
So my conclusion is this: Many are the sorrows and frustrations of those who don’t come clean with God. But when you trust in the Lord for forgiveness, his wrap-around love will surround you.
11
So celebrate the goodness of God! He shows this kindness to everyone who is his. Go ahead — shout for joy, all you upright ones who want to please him!
