Psalms 32:1-11 [A psalm of David.] Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is put out of sight!
Yes, what joy for those whose record the LORD has cleared of guilt, whose lives are lived in complete honesty!
When I refused to confess my sin, my body wasted away, and I groaned all day long.
Day and night Your hand of discipline was heavy on me. My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat. Interlude
Finally, I confessed all my sins to You and stopped trying to hide my guilt. I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the LORD. ” And You forgave me! All my guilt is gone. Interlude
Therefore, let all the godly pray to You while there is still time, that they may not drown in the floodwaters of judgment.
For You are my hiding place; You protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of victory. Interlude
The LORD says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.
Do not be like a senseless horse or mule that needs a bit and bridle to keep it under control. “
Many sorrows come to the wicked, but unfailing love surrounds those who trust the LORD.
So rejoice in the LORD and be glad, all you who obey Him! Shout for joy, all you whose hearts are pure!

Apa yang membuat manusia menderita?
Pemazmur menuliskan ketika kita terus menyimpan dan memelihara kesalahan dan dosa kita.
Tetapi kelegaan dan damai sejahtera serta kebahagiaan akan didapat manusia bila dosa dan kesalahan kita sudah diampuni Tuhan.
Karena itu pemazmur mengajak semua orang untuk mengakui dosa-dosanya dan jangan menyembunyikan nya di hadapan Tuhan.
Jangan bebal seperti keledai liar.
Jangan keraskan hati.
Tetapi bijaksana lah dan pakai semua kesempatan dan anugerah yang masih Tuhan berikan pengampunan dosa melalui darah Yesus Kristus
Gunakan waktu-waktu selama Tuhan berkenan jangan sampai kesempatan itu berlalu dan tidak kembali lagi.
