Hiding Place...

Since today is the 32nd of March, I read Psalm 32.
I was so overwhelmed by the beauty of the promise of His word that I wanted to share it,
"Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord does not count against him and in whose spirit is no deceit. When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer. Selah 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. Selah Therefore let everyone who is godly pray to you while you may be found; surely when the mighty waters rise, they will not reach him. You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you. 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. Many are the woes of the wicked, but the Lord's unfailing love surrounds the man who trusts in him. Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you righteous; sing, all you who are upright in heart!"
The reason I highlighted verse 7 was because it stuck out to me. It's really easy for me to forget that certain things are in the Bible. I mean, do you remember every word and every line of a 66 volume series? So I had forgotten that one of my Mom's favorite songs was based on a verse in the Bible.
You may be familiar with the song "Hiding Place." I think this version is sung by Selah (ironic with all the Selahs, right?).

(Please ignore the words and the weird pictures. Just close your eyes. Or open a different tab.)
