Yes, what joy for those whose record the Lord has cleared of guilt, whose lives are lived in complete honesty! — Psalms 32:2 (NLT) O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive, so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help. (Psalms 86:5 NLT) Therefore, let all the godly pray to you while there is still time, that they may not drown in the floodwaters of judgment. For you are my hiding place; you protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of victory. Interlude (Psalms 32:6-7 NLT) Many sorrows come to the wicked, but unfailing love surrounds those who trust the LORD. So rejoice in the LORD and be glad, all you who obey him! Shout for joy, all you whose hearts are pure! (Psalms 32:10-11 NLT) Teach me your ways, O LORD, that I may live according to your truth!
