The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 32:10

Many sorrows shall be to the wicked . A further warning to those addressed in the preceding verse. The LXX . emphasize this by substituting for the generic "sorrows" the specific μάστιγες , "lashes," the usual punishment of the horse and mule. But he that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass him about (comp. Deuteronomy 32:10 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 32:11

Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye righteous . David's psalms almost always end with a note of joy, or at any rate in a tone that is cheerful and encouraging. The present psalm, though reckoned among the penitential ones, both begins and ends with joyful utterances. In Psalms 32:1 , Psalms 32:2 David pours forth the feeling of gladness which fills his own heart. Here he calls upon the "righteous" generally, who yet need forgiveness, to rejoice with him. And shout for joy, all ye... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 32:10

Many sorrows shall be to the wicked - The meaning here is, probably, that those who will not submit themselves to God in the manner which the psalmist recommends; who are like the horse and the mule, needing to be restrained, and who are to be restrained only by force, will experience bitter sorrows. The psalmist may refer here, in part, to sorrows such as he says he himself experienced when he attempted to suppress the convictions of guilt Psalms 32:3-4; and partly to the punishment that will... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 32:11

Be glad in the Lord - Rejoice in the Lord. Rejoice that there is a God; rejoice that he is such as he is; rejoice in his favor; find your joy - your supreme joy - in him. Compare Philippians 3:1, note; Philippians 4:4, note.Ye righteous - You who are willing to go to him and confess your sins; you who are willing to serve and obey him. See the notes at Psalms 32:6. The meaning is, that those who are disposed to confess their sins, and are willing to submit to him without being compelled by... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 32:10

Psalms 32:10. Many sorrows shall be to the wicked This is an argument to enforce the preceding admonition; as if he had said, If any will be refractory or unruly, God hath many ways to curb and chastise them, and bring them to be subject to his will. “They,” says Dr. Horne, “who are not to be reformed by gentler methods, must learn righteousness under the rod of affliction, in the school of the cross; and happy are they if their sorrows may so turn to their advantage. But happier are... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 32:1-11

Psalms 32:0 The joy of the forgiven sinnerWhen people are honest with God and confess their sin to him, they experience the unspeakable joy of knowing that their sin is forgiven (1-2). If, however, instead of acknowledging their sin they try to push it out of the mind, they only create greater distress and tension for themselves. This can lead to a falling away in physical health (3-4). But when confession is made, forgiveness follows, the burden of the mind is removed, and people enjoy afresh... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 32:10

"Many sorrows shall be to the wicked;But he that trusteth Jehovah, lovingkindness shall compass him about.Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous;And shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.""Many sorrows shall be to the wicked" (Psalms 32:10). What a lie is that of Satan who advertises his way as that of "liberty," or "freedom." The simple truth is here bluntly stated. "The way of the transgressor is hard" (Proverbs 13:15). The sinful way is the way of sorrow, heartbreak,... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 32:11

Psalms 32:11. Be glad in the Lord— Bishop Hare supposes that this verse belongs to the next psalm, because it has no connection with the foregoing verse, or any part of this psalm; but if placed at the beginning of the next, the two first verses agree very well together, and correspond with great propriety. As a further support of this conjecture, it may be observed, that almost throughout that psalm the verses are exegetical, containing the same or a similar sense; whence it is likewise... read more
