PSALM 32

BLESSED ARE THE FORGIVEN

David praises God for His mercy and forgiveness. When David kept his sins to himself, he felt like his bones were wasting away. He has experienced the freedom that comes from confessing and confronting his sin and sees God as his preservation and hiding place. 

David calls for everyone who is godly to offer prayers of confession to God. He does not want to be like a mule who must have a bit and bridle to force its every move, but instead he desires to keep his eyes on God and trust His counsel. 

Psalm 32:7 - You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance.
