You Forgave the Iniquity of My Sin
Of David. A [a]Maskil.
32 (A)How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,
Whose sin is covered!
2 How blessed is the man whose iniquity Yahweh (B)will not take into account,
And in whose spirit there is (C)no deceit!
3 When (D)I kept silent about my sin, (E)my [b]bones wasted away
Through my [c](F)groaning all day long.
4 For day and night (G)Your hand was heavy upon me;
My [d](H)vitality was drained away as with the heat of summer. [e]Selah.
5 I (I)acknowledged my sin to You,
And my iniquity I (J)did not cover up;
I said, “(K)I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh;”
And You (L)forgave the [f]iniquity of my sin. Selah.
6 Therefore, let every holy one pray to You [g](M)at a time when You may be found;
Surely (N)in a flood of great waters they will not reach him.
7 You are (O)my hiding place; You (P)guard me from trouble;
You surround me with [h](Q)songs of deliverance. Selah.
8 I will (R)give you insight and teach you in the way which you should go;
I will counsel you (S)with My eye upon you.
9 Do not be (T)as the horse or as the mule which have no understanding,
Whose harness are bit and bridle to control them,
Otherwise they will not come near you.
10 Many are the (U)sorrows of the wicked,
But (V)he who trusts in Yahweh, lovingkindness shall surround him.
11 Be (W)glad in Yahweh and rejoice, you righteous ones;
And shout for joy, all you who are (X)upright in heart.
2 (A)And behold, they brought to Him a (B)paralytic lying on a bed. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralytic, “(C)Take courage, [a]son; (D)your sins are forgiven.” 3 And behold, some of the scribes said [b]to themselves, “This man (E)blasphemes.” 4 And Jesus (F)knowing their thoughts said, “Why are you thinking evil in your hearts? 5 For which is easier, to say, ‘(G)Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? 6 But so that you may know that (H)the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—then He *said to the (I)paralytic, “Get up, pick up your bed and go home.” 7 And he got up and [c]went home. 8 But when the crowds saw this, they were afraid, and (J)glorified God, who had given such authority to men.
Matthew and Sinners Called
9 (K)And as Jesus went on from there, He saw a man called (L)Matthew, sitting in the tax office; and He *said to him, “(M)Follow Me!” And he stood up and followed Him.
10 [d]Then it happened that as [e]Jesus was reclining at the table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and [f]sinners came and were dining with Jesus and His disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to His disciples, “(N)Why is your Teacher eating with the tax collectors and sinners?” 12 But when Jesus heard this, He said, “It is not (O)those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick. 13 But go and learn [g](P)what this means: ‘(Q)I desire [h]compassion, [i]and not sacrifice,’ for (R)I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
