Psalms 32:2

Arabic 2016 (الكِتاب المُقَدَّس: التَّرْجَمَةُ العَرَبِيَّةُ المُبَسَّطَةُ)

هَنِيئًا لِمَنْ لَا يَحْسِبُ اللهُ إثمَهُ، وَفِي رُوحِهِ لَا يُوجَدُ غِشٌّ.

What Does This Mean?

Psalm 32:2 says that a person is truly blessed when God does not count their sins against them, and when their heart is pure and free from deceit. David, the author of this psalm, is speaking. The key message is that true blessing comes from being free of guilt and deceit in one's relationship with God.

Explained for Children

Imagine you did something wrong, but your best friend doesn't get mad at you and instead forgives you. That's how God forgives us when we're honest and don't hide bad things. This makes us feel really happy and blessed.
