7 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
7 You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.
7 You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah
7 God's my island hideaway, keeps danger far from the shore, throws garlands of hosannas around my neck.
7 You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah
7 For you are my hiding place; you protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of victory. Interlude
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 32:7
Commentary on Psalm 32:3-7
(Read Psalm 32:3-7)
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.
