Slaying The Giant Of Guilt.
Psalms 32 & 51.
1 Blessed is he whose transgression is
forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not
iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. 3When I kept
silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long. 4For
day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the
drought of summer. Selah. 5I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine
iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the
LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin.
