Psalms 32:6-11

The Blessedness of Forgiven Sin and Honest Confession

beatitude of forgiveness -> bodily misery under hidden sin -> confession and forgiven guilt -> call to timely prayer -> refuge in God -> divine instruction -> warning against stubbornness -> contrast of sorrows and steadfast love -> rejoicing for the upright

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

6Therefore let all the godly pray to You while You may be found. Surely when great waters rise, they will not come near.

7You are my hiding place. You protect me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah

8I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will give you counsel and watch over you.

9Do not be like the horse or mule, which have no understanding; they must be controlled with bit and bridle to make them come to you.

10Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but loving devotion surrounds him who trusts in the LORD.

11Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, O righteous ones; shout for joy, all you upright in heart.
