The Joy of Forgiveness

Romans 4:1–12

¹Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.+ ²Blessed is the man whose iniquity the LORD does not count against him, in whose spirit there is no deceit.+ ³When I kept silent, my bones became brittle from my groaning all day long.+ ⁴For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was drained as in the summer heat. Selah+ ⁵Then I acknowledged my sin to You and did not hide my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” and You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah+ ⁶Therefore let all the godly pray to You while You may be found. Surely when great waters rise, they will not come near.+ ⁷You are my hiding place. You protect me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah+ ⁸I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will give you counsel and watch over you.+ ⁹Do not be like the horse or mule, which have no understanding; they must be controlled with bit and bridle to make them come to you.+ ¹⁰Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but loving devotion surrounds him who trusts in the LORD.+ ¹¹Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, O righteous ones; shout for joy, all you upright in heart.+
