Psalms 32:1-6

MSG

NIV

1 Count yourself lucky, how happy you must be - you get a fresh start, your slate's wiped clean.
1 Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
2 Count yourself lucky - God holds nothing against you and you're holding nothing back from him.
2 Blessed is the one whose sin the LORD does not count against them and in whose spirit is no deceit.
3 When I kept it all inside, my bones turned to powder, my words became daylong groans.
3 When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
4 The pressure never let up; all the juices of my life dried up.
4 For day and night your hand was heavy on me; my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer.
5 Then I let it all out; I said, "I'll make a clean breast of my failures to God." Suddenly the pressure was gone - my guilt dissolved, my sin disappeared.
5 Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD.” And you forgave the guilt of my sin.
6 These things add up. Every one of us needs to pray; when all hell breaks loose and the dam bursts we'll be on high ground, untouched.
6 Therefore let all the faithful pray to you while you may be found; surely the rising of the mighty waters will not reach them.
