Mas cuando arrepentido, mis culpas confesé, de ti he recibido perdón y me gocé. 3 De penas turbadoras mi alma librarás; con notas salvadoras, Señor, me infundirás. Los justos en tu nombre, se regocijarán; con cantos de renombre tus glorias cantarán. Scripture: Psalm 32 Used With Tune: RUTHERFORD Text Sources: Psalter, 1912
