These passages focus on the concept that forgiveness brings joy.
"When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted away through my groaning all day long." (v. 3) I have long felt that a mindset of complaint is the result of a lack of thankfulness and also the result of a corrupted outlook. I think this passage is saying something similar, that corrupting force being sin from within, unforgiven and festering because of it. Creating an unsettled, habitually out-of-place sense in our being.
I am not saddled with so much guilt, for that I am glad. But I must remember this and share it with those I encounter who struggle with this kind of pain.
