Psalm 32:8 KJV

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Psalms 32:1-11

Psalms 32:0A Psalm of David, Maschil1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.2 Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity,And in whose spirit there is no guile.3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed oldThrough my roaring all the day long.4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me:My moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee,And mine iniquity have I not hid.I said, I will... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 32:1-11

the Song of the Forgiven Psalms 32:1-11 David wrote this psalm, Romans 4:6-8 . Maschil means “to give instruction.” We are deeply instructed as to the working of conscience. Compare with Psalms 51:1-19 . This was one of Luther’s favorites. For some time after his sin, David withheld confession and suffered terribly. But when the wound was opened and the poison pressed from it, he burst out in the words with which the psalm opens: Oh, the blessedness! Sin means missing the mark; iniquity... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 32:1-11

This is known as the second of the penitential psalms. It is the song of a man who is rejoicing in the assurance of restoration. Opening with a burst of praise which reveals the experimental knowledge of the happiness of forgiveness (1, 2), it proceeds to describe the bitterness of the soul's experience while sin is unconfused (3, 4). Then the way of restoration by confession and the readiness of Jehovah to forgive are declared (5). On the basis of such restoration the soul has access to God... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 32:8-9

5). He Hears God’s Voice Again Promising to Lead Him in The Right Way, Although Requiring That He Respond to His Guiding Hand (8-9). ‘I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you will go, I will guide you with my eye.’ God now speaks to David (it is YHWH who gives David counsel - Psalms 25:8; Psalms 25:12; Psalms 16:7; Psalms 73:24). We have only to recall other mentions of His silence (Psalms 28:1; Psalms 35:22; Psalms 39:12; Psalms 83:1; Psalms 109:1) to recognise how much it meant... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 32:8

This and the next verse are the words, either, 1. Of God; whom David brings in as returning this answer to his prayers, and the profession of his trust in God. Or rather, 2. Of David himself; who having received singular favours from God, and having declared what the godly would do upon that occasion, Psalms 32:6, he now undertakes to instruct the wicked what they should do; which he doth, partly to express his thankfulness to God for delivering himself, and his, zeal to advance the honour and... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 32:1-11

INTRODUCTION“This is the second of the seven penitential psalms, as they are called, which, says Selnecker, ‘St. Augustine used often to read with weeping heart and eyes, and which before his death he had written on the wall over against his sick-bed, that he might exercise himself therein, and find comfort therein in his sickness.’ St. Augustine’s own words, ‘Intelligentia prima, est ut te noris peccatorem,’ might stand as its motto. There can be little doubt that this psalm was composed after... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 32:1-11

Psalms 32:0 In this Psalm David gives to the world his experience as a sinner. I. He tells us of the blessedness of forgiveness. He is blessed (1) because his sins are taken away; (2) because his sins are covered or hidden, and that from God, not from men; (3) because he is treated as innocent. II. He tells us of the result of his attempts to cover his sin. (1) His body suffered from the terrors of remorse. (2) The old freshness of his heart was gone, like a running stream dried up in the... read more

William Nicoll

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 32:8

Psalms 32:8 (1) The first thought that occurs to the mind about this strange and lovely compass is its gentleness. God draws us with a silken cord. (2) The second thought is, how it honours a man, recognises within him intellectual and moral powers which can respond to such silent government. (3) Notice the wonderful variety there must be in such guidance. For the eye has infinite capability of expression, and speaks all languages. (4) And yet it is actually personal. The look of the eye is... read more
