Psalm 32 - Praying God's Word

Please read Psalm 32.

Meditate on verses 1 and 2.

How blessed is he whose transgression

 is forgiven, whose sin is covered!

How blessed is the man to whom

 the LORD does not impute iniquity

 and in whose spirit there is no deceit!

David wrote this psalm because he knew the misery of living in unconfessed sin: body wasting away, groaning all day long, the LORD’s hand heavy upon him, and his vitality drained (vs. 3-4).

David wrote this psalm because he knew the reward of confession: the LORD forgave the guilt of his sin (v. 5).

David wrote this psalm because he knew the LORD promised to instruct and teach him the way he should go (v. 8). He knew the LORD would counsel him with His eye upon him (v. 8).

This is a psalm for the conviction of sin, what to do with sin, and the results of repentance. Ask the LORD to search your life for anything that displeases Him.

After you repent, pray Psalm 32:7-8 and 10-11 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, You are ________ and my hiding place.

 Preserve us from trouble; surround

us with songs of deliverance. 

Please instruct us and teach in the way we should go. 

Counsel us with Your eye upon us.

 We trust in You, LORD; surround us with Your lovingkindness. 

Because of You, we are righteous and upright in heart.

 We will be glad and rejoice in You, LORD.  We shout for joy.

Because of You, Jesus~”
