How joyful is the one

Whose transgression is forgiven,

Whose sin is covered!

How joyful is the man

The LORD does not charge with sin

And in whose spirit is no deceit!

…

For day and night Your hand was heavy on me;

My strength was drained

As in the summer’s heat.

Then I acknowledged my sin to You

And did not conceal my iniquity.

I said,

“I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,”

And You took away the guilt of my sin. Selah

Therefore let everyone who is faithful pray to You

At a time that You may be found. Psalm 32

Father,

You supplied my vindication at a time when I needed it most, when I had no other hope but in You. I have found true joy in Your just salvation — Jesus in my place. You have set Your King on Zion and inside my heart. All praise to God! Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. You are great, awesome King. Jesus be Lord of my life, Jesus Lord over all. Every nation is Your heritage; everything belongs to You, Jesus, and You are the Judge over all. I take refuge in You. Cover me with Your wings, cover me by Your blood. You have spoken, this is the word of the Lord: mercy. Yes and amen!
