The Joy of Forgiveness

Of David. A Maskil.

32 How joyful is the one
whose transgression is forgiven,
whose sin is covered!(A)
How joyful is a person whom
the Lord does not charge with iniquity(B)
and in whose spirit is no deceit!(C)

When I kept silent, my bones became brittle
from my groaning all day long.(D)
For day and night your hand was heavy on me;(E)
my strength was drained[a]
as in the summer’s heat.(F) Selah

and did not conceal my iniquity.
I said, ‘I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,’
and you forgave the guilt of my sin.(H) Selah
