Psalm 32
Concise Complete
The happiness of a pardoned sinner. (1,2) The misery that went before, and
the comfort that followed the confession of sins. (3-7) Sinners instructed,
believers encouraged. (8-11)
Verses 1-2 Sin is
the cause of our misery; but the true believer's transgressions of the Divine
law are all forgiven, being covered with the atonement. Christ bare his sins,
therefore they are not imputed to him. The righteousness of Christ being
reckoned to us, and we being made the righteousness of God in him, our iniquity
is not imputed, God having laid upon him the iniquity of us all, and made him a
sin-offering for us. Not to impute sin, is God's act, for he is the Judge. It is
God that justifies. Notice the character of him whose sins are pardoned; he is
sincere, and seeks sanctification by the power of the Holy Ghost. He does not
profess to repent, with an intention to indulge in sin, because the Lord is
ready to forgive. He will not abuse the doctrine of free grace. And to the man
whose iniquity is forgiven, all manner of blessings are promised.
Verses 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, is enabled freely to pour forth its sorrows before God, and to
take hold of his covenanted mercy in Christ Jesus! Those that would speed in
prayer, must seek the Lord, when, by his providence, he calls them to seek him,
and, by his Spirit, stirs them up to seek him. In a time of finding, when the
heart is softened with grief, and burdened with guilt; when all human refuge
fails; when no rest can be found to the troubled mind, then it is that God
applies the healing balm by his Spirit.
Verses 8-11 God
teaches by his word, and guides with the secret intimations of his will. David
gives a word of caution to sinners. The reason for this caution is, that the way
of sin will certainly end in sorrow. Here is a word of comfort to saints. They
may see that a life of communion with God is far the most pleasant and
comfortable. Let us rejoice, O Lord Jesus, in thee, and in thy salvation; so
shall we rejoice indeed.
