Blest he to whom Jehovah will not impute his sin, who hath a guileless spirit, whose heart is true within. 2 While I kept guilty silence, my strength was spent with grief; thy hand was heavy on me, my soul found no relief. But when I owned my trespass, my sin hid not from thee, when I confessed transgression, then thou forgavest me. 3 So let the godly seek thee in times when thou art near; no whelming floods shall reach them, nor cause their hearts to fear. In thee, O Lord, I hid me, thou savest me from ill, and songs of thy salvation my heart with rapture thrill. 4 I graciously will teach thee the way that thou shalt go, and with my eye upon thee my counsel make thee know. But be ye not unruly or slow to understand; be not perverse, but willing to heed my wise command. 5 The sorrows of the wicked in number shall abound, but those that trust Jehovah, his mercy shall surround. Then in the Lord be joyful, in song lift up your voice; be glad in God, ye righteous; rejoice, ye saints, rejoice. Scripture: Psalm 32 Used With Tune: RUTHERFORD Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912
