Psalm 32 is one of my favorites...

...and these thoughts on it are good.

Here's Psalm 32, as rendered by the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) translation:

Happy are those whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
²
Happy are those to whom the Lord imputes no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
³

While I kept silence, my body wasted away through my groaning all day long.
⁴
For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer...
⁵

Then I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not hide my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” and you forgave the guilt of my sin...
⁶
Therefore let all who are faithful offer prayer to you; at a time of distress, the rush of mighty waters shall not reach them.
⁷
You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with glad cries of deliverance...
⁸

I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.
⁹
Do not be like a horse or a mule, without understanding, whose temper must be curbed with bit and bridle, else it will not stay near you.
¹⁰

Many are the torments of the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds those who trust in the Lord.
¹¹
Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart.
