Psalm 32 Prayed
Finding
God’s forgiveness
O Lord, bless me with the
knowledge that
my
transgressions are forgiven,
my
sins are covered by the blood of Jesus.
Bless me with the knowledge
that
you
do not count my sin against me.
Let
there be no deceit in my spirit.
Wash me, sanctify me, justify
me
in
the name of the Lord Jesus Christ
and
by the Holy Spirit.
When I kept silent,
and
refused to bring my sin to you,
my bones wasted away
through
my groaning all day long.
For day and night
your
hand was heavy upon me;
my conscience accused me,
my
bitter regret punished me,
my strength was sapped
as
in the heat of summer.
If I say that I have no sin,
I
deceive myself, and the truth is not in me.
If I confess my sins,
you
are faithful and just
to
forgive my sins
and
to cleanse me from all unrighteousness.
So I acknowledge my sin to you,
O Father,
and
do not cover up my iniquity.
I say, “I confess
my
transgressions to you, O Lord”—
and you forgive
the
guilt of my sin.
For the blood of Jesus, your Son,
purifies
me from all sin.
Therefore let everyone who is
godly pray to you
while
you may be found.
Surely when the mighty waters
rise,
they
will not reach me.
You are my hiding place;
you
will protect me from trouble
and
surround me with songs of deliverance.
Because of your grace to me, O
Lord,
you
will never force me to obey.
Instead, instruct me and teach
me
in
the way I should go.
Counsel
me and watch over me.
For you called me to be free.
But
do not let me use my freedom
to
indulge the sinful nature,
but
rather to serve others.
For you do not want to treat me
like
the horse or the mule,
which
have no understanding
but must be controlled by bit
and bridle
or
they will not come to their owner.
Many are the woes of those who
do not
know
your forgiveness,
but your unfailing love
surrounds
me, for I trust in you.
I will rejoice in the Lord
Jesus and be glad,
for
he has made me righteous;
I will sing your praises,
for
you have made me upright in heart!
