y gemía todo el día.

Salmos 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 ) .

Salmos 32:3 In-Context

1 Salmo 32
Salmo
de David.
¡Oh, qué alegría para aquellos
a quienes se les perdona la desobediencia,
a quienes se les cubre su pecado!

2 Sí, ¡qué alegría para aquellos
a quienes el Señor
les borró la culpa
de su cuenta,
los que llevan una vida de total transparencia!

3 Mientras me negué a confesar mi pecado,
mi cuerpo se consumió,
y gemía todo el día.

4 Día y noche tu mano de disciplina pesaba sobre mí;
mi fuerza se evaporó como agua al calor del verano.

5 Finalmente te confesé todos mis pecados
y ya no intenté ocultar mi culpa.
Me dije: «Le confesaré mis rebeliones al Señor
»,
¡y tú me perdonaste! Toda mi culpa desapareció.
