Psalm 32


Blessed is the person whose disobedience is forgiven
    and whose sin is pardoned.
Blessed is the person whom Yahweh no longer accuses of sin
    and who has no deceitful thoughts.
When I kept silent about my sins,
    my bones began to weaken because of my groaning all day long.
Day and night your hand laid heavily on me.
    My strength shriveled in the summer heat. Selah
I made my sins known to you, and I did not cover up my guilt.
    I decided to confess them to you, O Yahweh.
    Then you forgave all my sins. Selah
For this reason let all godly people pray to you
    when you may be found.
        Then raging floodwater will not reach them.
You are my hiding place.
    You protect me from trouble.
    You surround me with joyous songs of salvation. Selah
The Lord says,
    “I will instruct you.
    I will teach you the way that you should go.
    I will advise you as my eyes watch over you.
Don’t be stubborn like a horse or mule.
    They need a bit and bridle in their mouth to restrain them,
        or they will not come near you.”
10 Many heartaches await wicked people,
    but mercy surrounds those who trust Yahweh.
11 Be glad and find joy in Yahweh, you righteous people.
    Sing with joy, all whose motives are decent.


PRAYER:

Psalm 16

1 Protect me, O El, because I take refuge in you.
2 I said to Yahweh,
    “You are my Adonay. Without you, I have nothing good.”
3 Those who lead holy lives on earth
    are the noble ones who fill me with joy.
4 Those who quickly chase after other gods multiply their sorrows.
    I will not pour out their sacrificial offerings of blood
        or use my lips to speak their names.

5 Yahweh is my inheritance and my cup.
    You are the one who determines my destiny.
6 Your boundary lines mark out pleasant places for me.
    Indeed, my inheritance is something beautiful.

7 I will praise Yahweh, who advises me.
    My conscience warns me at night.
8 I always keep Yahweh in front of me.
    When he is by my side, I cannot be moved.
9         That is why my heart is glad and my soul rejoices.
            My body rests securely
10 because you do not abandon my soul to the grave
    or allow your holy one to decay.
11 You make the path of life known to me.
    Complete joy is in your presence.
        Pleasures are by your side forever.
