Psalms 32:2
1 Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the man whose iniquity the LORD does not count against him, in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 When I kept silent, my bones became brittle from my groaning all day long.
4 For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was drained as in the summer heat. Selah
