Psalms 32:1-5
PSALM 32
Psa 32:1-11. Maschil--literally, "giving instruction." The Psalmist describes the blessings of His forgiveness, succeeding the pains of conviction, and deduces from his own experience instruction and exhortation to others.
1-2. (Compare Ro 4:6). forgiven--literally, "taken away," opposed to retain (Joh 20:23). covered--so that God no longer regards the sin (Psa 85:3). 3-4. A vivid description of felt, but unacknowledged, sin. When--literally, "for," as in Psa 32:4. 5. A prompt fulfilment of the purposed confession is followed by a prompt forgiveness.
