诗篇 32:1-3 CUVS

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 32:1

The blessedness of pardon. "Blessed is he," etc. The Old Testament Scriptures contain what we may call moral prophecies , no less striking than the historical and typical prophecies. This verse is among them. Beginning with this grand Bible word "blessed" (like Psalms 1:1-6 .), it resembles an echo, a thousand years beforehand, of the Sermon on the Mount. We find here, not only "the shadow of good things to come," but "the very image" of the gospel promises of pardon and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 32:1

(Second outline.) The blessedness of pardon may belong to widely different stages of Christian experience. Take, e.g; those of which we have images in Bunyan's 'Pilgrim's Progress '—in Christian's entering the wicket-gate, losing his burden, escaping from the dungeon of Giant Despair. First faith; full faith; recovered faith. I. THE BLESSEDNESS OF A FIRST FAITH . A first conscious, undoubting reception of God's promise—the glad tidings ( Luke 24:47 ; Acts 13:32 , ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 32:1

The blessedness of forgiveness. What our Lord said to Simon before his fall, seems to have been said to David after his great transgression, "When thou art converted, strengthen the brethren" ( Luke 22:32 ; Psalms 51:12 , Psalms 51:13 ). Nobly was the duty performed. Many who were walking in darkness have here found light. Many who were deluding themselves with false hopes have here been taught the way of peace; many who have been hardening their hearts in sin have here been laid... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 32:1-5

From great misery to greater blessedness. There can be little doubt that David composed this psalm after Nathan came to him. Psalms 51:1-19 . was the confession of his great sin, and the prayer for forgiveness. This is the record of the confession made and the forgiveness obtained, and the blessedness of his position as a son restored to his Father's house. I. THE GREATEST MISERY . 1 . The knowledge that we have sinned. That we have been guilty of one great sin leading on... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 32:1-11

The last word of the title, "Maschil," is thought to mean that the psalm was intended for instruction, warning, or admonition; the word maschil , or rather maskil , being formed from askil ," to instruct"—the opening word of the eighth verso—used also in Psalms 2:10 ; Psalms 53:2 , etc. There are thirteen psalms thus inscribed, all more or less of a didactic character. Rhythmically, the psalm seems to be composed of six strophes, each of two verses; but in the third... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 32:1-11

Divine forgiveness. This psalm is one of those historically established as David's. £ It has long been a favourite with the greatest saints, who are the very ones that own themselves the greatest sinners. Luther referred to it as one of his special psalms. So Dr. Chalmers, who, it is said, could scarcely read its first three verses without tears filling his eyes. The compression necessary to keep this work within moderate limits renders it impossible to do more than point out how it... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 32:2

Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity . "Iniquity"—the defilement of the sinner's own soul by sin—is not at once removable; if removable at all, it is only so by long lapse of time, and God's special mercy. But God can, at his own will and at any moment, "not impute" it—not count it against the sinner to his detriment. Then in God's sight the man is clean; it is as though the iniquity were not there. And in whose spirit there is no guile; i.e. no false seeming—no... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 32:3

When I kept silence ; i.e. so long as I did not acknowledge my sin—while I remained silent about it, quite aware that I hod sinned grievously, suffering in conscience, but not confessing it even to myself. The time spoken of is that which immediately followed the commission of the adultery, and which continued until Nathan uttered the words, "Thou art the man!" ( 2 Samuel 12:7 ). My bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long ; i.e. I suffered grievous pain, both bodily and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 32:3

Hindrances to confession of sin. "I kept silence." I. PRIDE . Men cannot bear to think themselves wrong—to put themselves down on the common level; still less, below those who have sought and obtained pardon. This pride is itself a great sin ( James 4:6 ; 1 Timothy 3:4 ), II. WANT OF HONESTY OF CONSCIENCE . Even proper self-respect should make one say, "Anything rather than self-deception! Let me know the truth of myself!" III. INDOLENCE . Many are busy... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 32:1

Blessed is he ... - On the meaning of the word “blessed,” see the notes at Psalms 1:1. See the passage explained in the notes at Romans 4:7-8. The word “blessed” here is equivalent to “happy.” “Happy is the man;” or “happy is the condition - the state of mind - happy are the prospects, of one whose sins are forgiven.” His condition is happy or blessed:(a) as compared with his former state, when he was pressed or bowed down under a sense of guilt;(b) in his real condition, as that of a pardoned... read more
