Psalm 32:7 KJV

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 32:1-11

Psalms 25:0 In the Hebrew this prayer is arranged as an acrostic, i.e., the first word of each verse begins with a letter in alphabetical order from A-to-Z. Hereafter we shall not give as much attention to every psalm as we have thus far, but trust the reader to do the analyzing after the examples given. The purpose of this book is not so much textual explanation as a stimulus to Bible study in a broader sense, and it is assumed that the reader has been studying the Bible side by side with the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 32:7

What a rich verse this is, and what a rich representation is made in it of the Lord Christ, as the hiding place of poor redeemed sinners? In his person, in his righteousness, in his blood, in his salvation, in his power, love, goodness, grace here, glory hereafter, how everlastingly secured are his redeemed ones! Hid from sin, from Satan, from themselves and their own corruptions; from all the accusations of the law, the alarms of conscience, and the justice of Almighty God. Jesus hath... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 32:7

As in. This is agreeable to St. Augustine, and some ancient psalters; though the Septuagint have "like a bottle" made of leather, Greek: osei askon. Moderns would translate, "like a heap." But Symmachus and St. Jerome agree with us, (see Psalm lxxvii. 13.; Calmet) as well as the Chaldean and Houbigant. God has made the bed of the sea capable of containing such quantities of water, some of which evaporate and descend again from the clouds, to make the earth fruitful. Yet many take no notice of... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 32:3-7

3-7 It is very difficult to bring sinful man humbly to accept free mercy, with a full confession of his sins and self-condemnation. But the true and only way to peace of conscience, is, to confess our sins, that they may be forgiven; to declare them that we may be justified. Although repentance and confession do not merit the pardon of transgression, they are needful to the real enjoyment of forgiving mercy. And what tongue can tell the happiness of that hour, when the soul, oppressed by sin,... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 32:1-11

Of the Justification of a Poor Sinner. A psalm of David, Maschil, a contemplation, written probably after David had been restored to the grace of God, a little more than a year after his great sin with Bathsheba, 2 Samuel 11:21. The psalm pictures sin in the fullness of its terror and shows that no man may be just before God in his own person, being dependent entirely upon the grace and mercy of God in Christ Jesus. v. 1. Blessed is he, literally, "O the blessings of him," those which he... read more

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

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

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

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 32:6-7

4). He Expresses His Confidence That Anyone Who is Godly Can Similarly Come to Him in Times of Trouble, Emphasising that God is His Hiding Place, The One Who Surrounds Him with Songs of Deliverance (Psalms 32:6-7 ). Psalms 32:6 ‘For this let every one who is godly pray to you, In a time when you may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow, They will not reach to him.’ The Psalmist now turns his thoughts outwards and asks that all the godly might similarly seek God for the forgiveness... read more
