Psalms 32 ~ Listen and Read Along

Dramatized KJV
 JV McGee
The subject of the Psalm is the happiness that follows the confession of sin and the experience of forgiveness. This is generally set forth at the beginning (32:1-2). Then the Psalmist relates his own spiritual history of misery before confession (32:3-4), and of relief after it (32:5). He next commends the practice of prayer (32:6), and expresses his own confidence in God (32:7). In verse 8, God speaks in words of promise.

And the closing verses are devoted to counsel and exhortation (32:9-11). The period in David’s life which best fits the references in thhis Psalm, is the time of his impenitence after the murder of Uriah, followed by the rebuke of Nathan, and the king’s acknowledgment of his sin (2 Samuel 11:26 to 2 Samuel 12:23).
