Context of Psalms 32:7

5Then I told you about my sins. I did not try to hide the bad things that I had done. I said, ‘I will tell the Lord about the things that I have done against him.’ When I did that, you forgave my sins. Selah. 6Because of this, all your own people should pray to you. They should pray while they still have the chance. Then, when danger comes to them like a river of deep water, they will still be safe. Yes, Lord, you are a place where I can hide. You will keep me safe from trouble. I will hear happy songs all around me, because you save your people from danger. Selah. 8I will teach you the right way to live. I will be your guide and I will take care of you. 9Do not be like a silly horse, or a mule. You have to use a rope to show them which way to go. Without that, they will not obey you.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 3-7Verses 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…Read the comment
