John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 32:2

Verse 2 2.In whose spirit there is no guile. In this clause the Psalmist distinguishes believers both from hypocrites and from senseless despisers of God, neither of whom care for this happiness, nor can they attain to the enjoyment of it. The wicked are, indeed, conscious to themselves of their guilt, but still they delight in their wickedness; harden themselves in their impudence, and laugh at threatenings; or, at least, they indulge themselves in deceitful flatteries, that they may not be... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 32:3

Verse 3 3.When I kept silence, my bones wasted away. Here David confirms, by his own experience, the doctrine which he had laid down; namely, that when humbled under the hand of God, he felt that nothing was so miserable as to be deprived of his favor: by which he intimates, that this truth cannot be rightly understood until God has tried us with a feeling of his anger. Nor does he speak of a mere ordinary trial, but declares that he was entirely subdued with the extremest rigour. And... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 32:4

Verse 4 4.For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me. In this verse he explains more fully whence such heavy grief arose; namely, because he felt the hand of God to be sore against him. The greatest of all afflictions is to be so heavily pressed with the hand of God, that the sinner feels he has to do with a Judge whose indignation and severity involve in them many deaths, besides eternal death. David, accordingly, complains that his moisture was dried up, not merely from simply meditating on... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 32:5

Verse 5 5.I have acknowledged my sin unto thee. The prophet now describes the issue of his misery, in order to show to all the ready way of obtaining the happiness of which he makes mention. When his feeling of divine wrath sorely vexed and tormented him, his only relief was unfeignedly to condemn himself before God, and humbly to flee to him to crave his forgiveness. He does not say, however, that his sins merely came to his remembrance, for so also did the sins of Cain and Judas, although to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 32:1

Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, and whose sin is covered. There are three aspects under which sin is viewed in Holy Scripture: 1 . As an offence against God's Law. This is "transgression"— ἀνομία . 2 . As an offence against the eternal and immutable rule of right. This is "sin"— ἁμαρτία . 3 . As an internal depravation and defilement of the sinner's soul. This is "iniquity "— ἀδικία (comp. Exodus 34:7 ). Each aspect of sin has its own especial... read more

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
