Spirit of the Psalms
Psalm 32
Isaac Watts
Happy the man to whom his God
No more imputes his sin;
But, wash'd in the Redeemer's blood,
Hath made his garments clean!
2 Happy beyond expression he,
Whose debts are thus discharged;
And from the guilty bondage free,
He feels his soul enlarge.
3 While I my inward guilt suppress'd
No quiet could I find;
Thy wrath lay burning in my breast,
And rack'd my tortured mind.
4 Then I confess'd my troubled thoughts,
My secret sins reveal'd;
Thy pardoning grace forgave my faults,
Thy grace my pardon seal'd.
5 This shall invite Thy saints to pray;
When, like a raging flood,
Temptations rise, our strength and stay
Is a forgiving God.
Isaac Watts, 1719,
