Psalms 32:6
Compare all
4 For day and night Your ahand was heavy upon me;
My vitality was turned into the drought of summer. Selah 
5 I acknowledged my sin to You,
And my iniquity I have not hidden.
aI said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
And You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah 
6 aFor this cause everyone who is godly shall bpray to You
In a time when You may be found;
Surely in a flood of great waters
They shall not come near him. 
7 aYou are my hiding place;
You shall preserve me from trouble;
You shall surround me with bsongs of deliverance. Selah 
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will guide you with My eye.
9 Do not be like the ahorse or like the mule,
Which have no understanding,
Which must be harnessed with bit and bridle,
Else they will not come near you.

Psalms 32:6

For this shall every one that is godly - Because thou art merciful; because thou hast shown mercy to all who have truly turned to thee, and believed in thee; every one who fears thee, and hears of this, shall pray unto thee in an acceptable time, when thou mayest be found; in the time of finding. When the heart is softened and the conscience alarmed, that is a time of finding. God is ever ready; men are not so. Who can pray with a hard heart and a dark mind? While you feel relentings, pray.

Surely in the floods - In violent trials, afflictions, and temptations; when the rains descend, the winds blow, and the floods beat against that godly man who prays and trusts in God; "they shall not come nigh him," so as to weaken his confidence or destroy his soul. His house is founded on a rock.
