Psalm 32:1-3

EasyEnglish Bible

This is a special song that David wrote.

Tell God about your sins^[a]

32 When God has forgiven someone's sins,
    they are truly happy!
They may have turned against God,
    but when God forgives them, they are happy.
²They may have done something bad,
    but when the Lord says, ‘Not guilty!’,
    he has truly blessed them.
They are happy because they no longer try to hide their sins.

³When I said nothing to God about my sin,
my whole body became weak.
I cried all the time because of the pain.

Footnotes

32:1 This psalm helps us to tell God when we have done something that is wrong. God already knows about it, but he will not forgive us until we show him that we are sorry. David knew that he had done bad things that did not please God. When he knew that God had forgiven him, he could be happy again. There are other Psalms which say ‘sorry’ to God. See Psalms 38; 51; 102; 130; 143.
