Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 32:1-11
Psalms 32In this psalm of wisdom and thanksgiving, David urged those who sin against the Lord to seek His pardon, with the encouragement that He is gracious with the penitent. He will, however, chasten the unrepentant.Different scholars have identified different psalms as wisdom psalms. Bullock regarded 32, 34, 37, 47, 73, 112, 127-28, and 133 as wisdom psalms. Some literary distinctives of wisdom psalms are proverbs, admonitions (often taken from nature), similes, "blessed," "son" or... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 32:10-11
The wicked can count on having much sorrow in life normally. On the other hand, those who trust in the Lord will experience His loyal love and will be able to praise Him.Believers who sin are wise to confess their sins to God as soon after we commit them as possible. This will minimize the discipline God sends to bring us to repentance. [Note: See Swindoll, pp. 106-17.] "The case can be made that great men and women throughout the Bible and church history have been men and women of repentance.... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 32:1-11
The subject of the Ps. is the happiness that follows the confession of sin and the experience of forgiveness. This is generally set forth at the beginning (Psalms 32:1-2). Then the Psalmist relates his own spiritual history of misery before confession (Psalms 32:3-4), and of relief after it (Psalms 32:5). He next commends the practice of prayer (Psalms 32:6), and expresses his own confidence in God (Psalms 32:7). In Psalms 32:8 God speaks in words of promise, and the closing vv. are devoted to... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Psalms 32:1-11
Psalms 32:3-4 We all of us know that repentance of our sins is necessary for us, if we hope to be saved in the next world. True repentance is the path, the only path, of forgiveness, of restoration to God's favour, of becoming good and holy. But I. What is Repentance? It is the breaking off with our sins. It is not merely being sorry for them; not merely looking them in the face, and admitting the truth, when conscience convinces us that we have done wrong. All this is very necessary;... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 32:1-11
Psalms 32:1-11ONE must have a dull ear not to hear the voice of personal experience in this psalm. It throbs with emotion, and is a burst of rapture from a heart tasting the sweetness of the new joy of forgiveness. It is hard to believe that the speaker is but a personification of the nation, and the difficulty is recognised by Cheese’s concession that we have here "principally, though not exclusively, a national psalm." The old opinion that it records David’s experience in the dark time when,... read more

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
