March 26 / Psalm 32

Psalm 32

It’s a bit of a quandary. I keep saying “My Study Bible this…or My Study Bible that…”, and it gets a bit old. But I have to do the referencing since it’s not something that I’ve seen myself. So bear with me. Today my Study Bible pointed out three sets of repetitions, in verses 1-2a and again in verse 5. First, in the early verses, transgression is forgiven … sin is covered … the LORD counts no iniquity, then from verse 5, my sin … my iniquity … my transgressions. David covers both sides here, with repetition emphases on both sides – sin and forgiveness. In between he expresses the key that links the two – confession – with another triad: I acknowledged … I did not cover … I will confess …(also v. 5). Nothing more to say!
