Psaume 32:3 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 32:3

When I kept silence
Was unthoughtful of sin, unconcerned about it, and made no acknowledgment and confession of it to God, being quite senseless and stupid; the Targum adds, "from the words of the law"; which seems to point at sin as the cause of what follows;

my bones waxed old; through my roaring all the day long;
not under a sense of sin, but under some severe affliction, and through impatience in it; not considering that sin lay at the bottom, and was the occasion of it; and such was the violence of the disorder, and his uneasiness under it, that his strength was dried up by it, and his bones stuck out as they do in aged persons, whose flesh is wasted away from them; see ( Psalms 102:3 Psalms 102:5 ) .

Psaume 32:3 In-Context

1 De David. Cantique. Heureux celui à qui la transgression est remise, A qui le péché est pardonné!

2 Heureux l'homme à qui l'Eternel n'impute pas d'iniquité, Et dans l'esprit duquel il n'y a point de fraude!

3 Tant que je me suis tu, mes os se consumaient, Je gémissais toute la journée;

4 Car nuit et jour ta main s'appesantissait sur moi, Ma vigueur n'était plus que sécheresse, comme celle de l'été. -Pause.

5 Je t'ai fait connaître mon péché, je n'ai pas caché mon iniquité; J'ai dit: J'avouerai mes transgressions à l'Eternel! Et tu as effacé la peine de mon péché. -Pause.
