The providence of God

(Romans 4:1-12)
1
To David himself, understanding. Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
2
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3
Because I was silent my bones grew old; whilst I cried out all the day long.
4
For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: I am turned in my anguish, whilst the thorn is fastened.
5
I have acknowledged my sin to thee, and my injustice I have not concealed. I said I will confess against myself my injustice to the Lord: and thou hast forgiven the wickedness of my sin.
6
For this shall every one that is holy pray to thee in a seasonable time. And yet in a flood of many waters, they shall not come nigh unto him.
7
Thou art my refuge from the trouble which hath encompassed me: my joy, deliver me from them that surround me.
8
I will give thee understanding, and I will instruct thee in this way, in which thou shalt go: I will fix my eyes upon thee.
9
Do not become like the horse and the mule, who have no understanding. With bit and bridle bind fast their jaws, who come not near unto thee.
10
Many are the scourges of the sinner, but mercy shall encompass him that hopeth in the Lord.
11
Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye just, and glory, all ye right of heart.

The providence of God

(Romans 4:1-12)
1
Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2
Blessed is the man to whom the LORD doesn’t impute iniquity, in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3
When I kept silence, 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 in the heat of summer. Selah.
5
I acknowledged my sin to you. I didn’t hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the LORD, and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
6
For this, let everyone who is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him.
7
You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah.
8
I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.
9
Don’t be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding, who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you.
10
Many sorrows come to the wicked, but loving kindness shall surround him who trusts in the LORD.
11
Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, you righteous! Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart!
