Psalms Chapter 32
Mad blessed is the homie whose mistakes get wiped clean, whose wrongs are totally hidden.
[{A Psalm} of David, Maschil.] Blessed {is he whose} transgression {is} forgiven, {whose} sin {is} covered. {A Psalm...: or, A Psalm of David giving instruction}
Super blessed is the dude who the Lord ain’t keeping track of the bad vibes, and whose spirit is straight-up clean.
Blessed {is} the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit {there is} no guile.
When I kept my mouth shut, my bones felt like they were aging worse than expired milk from all my struggles day in and day out.
When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
For real, day and night, your hand was heavy on me: my vibe was as dry as a desert summer. Selah.
For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
I came forward about my mess-ups to you, and I didn’t hold back on my flaws. I said, “I’m spilling the tea to the Lord,” and you wiped my slate clean. Selah.
I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
Because of this, everyone who’s vibing right will hit you up when you’re around: no cap, in the floods of deep waters, they won’t get close to him.
For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him. {when...: Heb. of finding}
You’re my safe haven; you keep me chill from the chaos; you wrap me in dope jams of freedom. Selah.
Thou {art} my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
I’m gonna school you and show you the path to take: I’ll lead you with my eyes, no cap.
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. {guide...: Heb. counsel thee, mine eye shall be upon thee}
Don’t act like the horse or the mule, which just don’t get it: they need to be reined in or they’ll just be wildin’.
Be ye not as the horse, {or} as the mule, {which} have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.
A lot of pain hits the wicked, but the one who leans on the Lord will be surrounded by straight-up mercy, periodt.
Many sorrows {shall be} to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
Get hyped in the Lord, and celebrate, you righteous fam: and let loose with joy, all you who are real in heart.
Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all {ye that are} upright in heart.
