Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 32:1-11

INTRODUCTION“This is the second of the seven penitential psalms, as they are called, which, says Selnecker, ‘St. Augustine used often to read with weeping heart and eyes, and which before his death he had written on the wall over against his sick-bed, that he might exercise himself therein, and find comfort therein in his sickness.’ St. Augustine’s own words, ‘Intelligentia prima, est ut te noris peccatorem,’ might stand as its motto.

This Psalm, as well as Psalms 51:0., is generally understood to have been composed after the prophet Nathan had alarmed the conscience of David for the sin against Uriah.
