    Psalms 32

    This psalm, though it speaks not of Christ, as many of the psalms we have hitherto met with have done, has yet a great deal of gospel in it. The apostle tells us that David, in this psalm, describes “the blessedness of the man unto whom God imputes righteousness without words,” Romans 4:6. We have here a summary, I. Of gospel grace in the pardon of sin (Psalms 32:1, 32:2), in divine protection (Psalms 32:7), and divine guidance, Psalms 32:8. II. Of gospel duty. To confess sin (Psalms 32:3-32:5), to pray (Psalms 32:6), to govern ourselves well (Psalms 32:9, 32:10), and to rejoice in God, Psalms 32:11. The way to obtain these privileges is to make conscience of these duties, which we ought to think of—of the former for our comfort, of the latter for our quickening, when we sing this psalm. Grotius thinks it was designed to be sung on the day of atonement.MHBCC 511.1
