Psalms 32:6–11
Let the faithful seek God now for He is our hiding place; He will guide us with His eye and surround us with unfailing love if we do not remain stubborn.
6 For this, let everyone who is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him.
7 You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance.
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.
9 Don’t be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding, who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you.
10 Many sorrows come to the wicked, but loving kindness shall surround him who trusts in Yahweh.
11 Be glad in Yahweh, and rejoice, you righteous! Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart!
Let the faithful seek God now for He is our hiding place; He will guide us with His eye and surround us with unfailing love if we do not remain stubborn.
To exhort the community to timely prayer and to promise intimate divine guidance, while warning against the stubbornness that necessitates forced discipline.
The Blessedness of Forgiven Sin and Honest Confession
True blessedness belongs to the sinner who stops hiding sin, confesses honestly to the LORD, receives forgiveness, and walks in the joy of surrounding steadfast love.
