The Joy of Forgiveness
1 Blessed ishewhose(Ps. 85:2; 103:3); Rom. 4:7, 8transgression is forgiven,
Whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord(2 Cor. 5:19)does not impute iniquity,
And John 1:47in whose spirit thereis no deceit.
3 When I kept silent, my bones grew old
Through my groaning all the day long.
4 For day and night Your 1 Sam. 5:6; Ps. 38:2; 39:10hand was heavy upon me;
My vitality was turned into the drought of summer.
Selah
5 I acknowledged my sin to You,
And my iniquity I have not hidden.
2 Sam. 12:13; Ps. 38:18; (Prov. 28:13; 1 John 1:9)I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,"
And You forgave the iniquity of my sin.
Selah
6 (1 Tim. 1:16)For this cause everyone who is godly shall Ps. 69:13; Is. 55:6pray to You
In a time when You may be found;
Surely in a flood of great waters
They shall not come near him.
