DAILY MEDITATIONS ON THE PSALMS

Each morning I spend 30 minutes, more or less, researching and writing on a passage of scripture. This is principally a form of spiritual self-discipline. But comments and questions are welcome.

Happy are those whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Happy are those to whom the Lord impugns no iniquity. and in whose spirit there is no deceit. (Psalm 32: 1-2)

The psalmist has chosen especially dense words.

Happy, blessed, esher - able to walk straight and make progress - are those whose transgression, rebellion, pasa - prideful stepping forward in resistence - is forgiven, carried away, nasa - is lifted off.

Such happiness will come to those who do not intentionally deceive; where there is no purposeful attempt to bend or twist fundamental reality.
