Commentary on Psalms 32:2

Theological / Devotional

Imputeth not. That is, God does not reckon the sin to the sinner’s account. God not only forgives sin but also accepts the truly repentant as if he had never sinned. The sin has been laid upon Jesus, our substitute, with the result that “we are not to be anxious about what Christ and God think of us, but about what God thinks of Christ, our Substitute”.

Iniquity. The Heb. ‘awon, “moral distortion,” “crookedness,” “guilt.”

Guile. Heb. remiyyah, “deceit.” No falseness in himself that he knew of, and none in the sight of others or before God. His confession is sincere. Compare Rev. 14:5.
