Salmos 32:10

10 Muchos son los dolores del impío, pero al que confía en el SEÑOR, la misericordia lo rodeará.

Salmos 32:10 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 32:10

Many sorrows [shall be] to the wicked
Who will not be instructed and reformed, but are like the horse and mule, without understanding; many outward sorrows or afflictions attend them; loathsome and consuming diseases come upon their bodies by intemperance and debauchery; and they and their families are brought to a piece of bread, through their vicious courses; and inward sorrows, horror and terror of mind, seize them when their consciences are at any time awakened, and are open to conviction; when a load of guilt lies on them, what remorse of conscience they feel! and what severe reflections do they make! and how are they pierced through with many sorrows! And though indeed, for the most part, wicked men have their good things in this life, and are in prosperous circumstances, and are not in trouble, as other men; yet what they have is with a curse; and they have no true peace, pleasure, and satisfaction in what they enjoy; and the curses of a righteous law; and everlasting destruction is prepared for them in the other world, when they will have many sorrows indeed; their worm will not die, and the fire of divine fury will not be quenched; there will be for ever indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that does evil;

but he that trusteth in the Lord;
not in his wealth and riches, in his wisdom and strength, in himself, and his own righteousness; for such are wicked persons; but in the Lord; in his righteousness to justify him, in his blood to pardon him, in his strength to support him, and in his grace to supply him with everything necessary for him;

mercy shall compass him about;
not only follow him and overtake him, but surround him; he shall be crowned with lovingkindness and tender mercies: the phrase denotes the abundance of mercies that shall be bestowed upon him here and hereafter, as both grace and glory.

Salmos 32:10 In-Context

8 Yo te haré saber y te enseñaré el camino en que debes andar; te aconsejaré con mis ojos puestos en ti.
9 No seáis como el caballo o como el mulo, que no tienen entendimiento; cuyos arreos incluyen bocado y freno para sujetarlos, porque si no, no se acercan a ti.
10 Muchos son los dolores del impío, pero al que confía en el SEÑOR, la misericordia lo rodeará.
11 Alegraos en el SEÑOR y regocijaos, justos; dad voces de júbilo, todos los rectos de corazón.
