"TRUE CONFESSION"  Psalm 32:1-7 by Rev. Nolan Astley

Psalm 32:1–7
 1Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.  2Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.  3For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.  4For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. Selah
5I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah 
6Therefore let everyone who is godly offer prayer to you at a time when you may be found; surely in the rush of great waters, they shall not reach him.  7You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah
