- David confessed his sins to God – burdens off loaded and turns into joy with God’s forgiveness;
- David unreservedly trusts God for source of strength, for protection, for forgiveness and so on;
- Vs 10 NIV “Many are the woes of the wicked, but the Lord’s unfailing love surrounds the man who trusts in him.
Psalms 32:1-11
[1]Happy are those whose sins are forgiven, whose wrongs are pardoned.
[2]Happy is the one whom the Lord does not accuse of doing wrong and who is free from all deceit.
[3]When I did not confess my sins, I was worn out from crying all day long.
[4]Day and night you punished me, Lord; my strength was completely drained, as moisture is dried up by the summer heat.
[5]Then I confessed my sins to you; I did not conceal my wrongdoings. I decided to confess them to you, and you forgave all my sins.
[6]So all your loyal people should pray to you in times of need; when a great flood of trouble comes rushing in, it will not reach them.
[7]You are my hiding place; you will save me from trouble. I sing aloud of your salvation, because you protect me.
[8]The Lord says, “I will teach you the way you should go; I will instruct you and advise you.
[9]Don’t be stupid like a horse or a mule, which must be controlled with a bit and bridle to make it submit.”
[10]The wicked will have to suffer, but those who trust in the Lord are protected by his constant love.
[11]You that are righteous, be glad and rejoice because of what the Lord has done. You that obey him, shout for joy!
