Psalms 32:6

Psalms 32:6. For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the flood; of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.

For this (because of this), and for this blessing, " shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found." The pardoning God must be sought. There is an attraction in the greatness of his mercy. They that are godly, even though they have offended and gone astray, must come back and seek for pardon in a time when thou mayest be found. " Surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him." The godly man is safe when the floods are out. There are times when great waters prevailed in David’s country, the brooks sometimes turned to rivers, and came down with a rush when they were least expected; and here he says that when such a thing as that shall happen yet God’s people shall be saved. They shall come, but they shall not come nigh unto them. Let me read those words again. If you have gone to God in the day of your sin, and have found pardon, he that took away the sin will take away the sorrow. ‘ Surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him."
