Welcome to Bible in Brief. May you know the Lord Loves You.

May you feel lighter knowing that He can carry any burden for you.

I’m Rebecca Foster and this podcast season 1 includes readings from the Psalms, reflection and a musical rendition from the Psalms Project based on the Psalm.  

Psalm 32

Of David. A maskil.[a]

1 

Blessed is the one

    whose transgressions are forgiven,

    whose sins are covered.

2 

Blessed is the one

    whose sin the Lord does not count against them

    and in whose spirit is no deceit.

3 

When I kept silent,

    my bones wasted away

    through my groaning all day long.

4 

For day and night

    your hand was heavy on me;

my strength was sapped

    as in the heat of summer.[b]

5 

Then I acknowledged my sin to you

    and did not cover up my iniquity.

I said, “I will confess

    my transgressions to the Lord.”

And you forgave

    the guilt of my sin.

6 

Therefore let all the faithful pray to you

    while you may be found;

surely the rising of the mighty waters

    will not reach them.

7 

You are my hiding place;

    you will protect me from trouble

    and surround me with songs of deliverance.

8 

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;

    I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.

9 

Do not be like the horse or the mule,

    which have no understanding

but must be controlled by bit and bridle

    or they will not come to you.

10 

Many are the woes of the wicked,

    but the Lord’s unfailing love

    surrounds the one who trusts in him.

11 

Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you righteous;

    sing, all you who are upright in heart!
