Salmos 32

Blessedness of Forgiveness and of Trust in God.

1 Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, favored by God] is he whose transgression is forgiven,

And whose sin is covered.

2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute wickedness,

And in whose spirit there is no deceit. [Rom 4:7, 8]

3 When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted away

Through my groaning all the day long.

4 For day and night Your hand [of displeasure] was heavy upon me;

My *32:4 Lit life juices were turned into the drought of summer.energy (vitality, strength) was drained away as with the burning heat of summer. Selah.

5 I acknowledged my sin to You,

And I did not hide my wickedness;

I said, "I will confess [all] my transgressions to the Lord";

And You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah.

6 Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You [for forgiveness] in a time when You [are near and] may be found;

Surely when the great waters [of trial and distressing times] overflow they will not reach [the spirit in] him.
