Salmos 32:6-11

6 Pelo que todo aquele é piedoso ore a ti, a tempo de te poder achar; no trasbordar de muitas águas, estas e ele não chegarão.

7 Tu és o meu esconderijo; preservas-me da angústia; de alegres cânticos de livramento me cercas.

8 Instruir-te-ei, e ensinar-te-ei o caminho que deves seguir; aconselhar-te-ei, tendo-te sob a minha vista.

9 Não sejais como o cavalo, nem como a mula, que não têm entendimento, cuja boca precisa de cabresto e freio; de outra forma não se sujeitarão.

10 O ímpio tem muitas dores, mas aquele que confia no Senhor, a misericórdia o cerca.

11 Alegrai-vos no Senhor, e regozijai-vos, vós justos; e cantai de júbilo, todos vós que sois retos de coração.

Salmos 32:6-11 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 32

\\<<[A Psalm], of David, Maschil>>\\. This is the first of the psalms that bears this title: some think it is the name of a musical instrument, on which this psalm was sung; others the first word of a song, to the tune of which it was sung, as Aben Ezra; some say it is so called, because it was explained by an interpreter, as Jarchi; and the Rabbins {k} say, that every psalm that is called "Maschil" was dictated by an interpreter: the Targum renders it "a good understanding"; and the word properly signifies "instruction", or "causing to understand" {l}; and it may be the apostle has some reference to this title in 1Co 14:15; It is an instructive psalm; a didascalic ode, as Junius renders it: it gives an account how the psalmist was instructed under a dispensation of Providence; and was brought to a sense of sin, and acknowledgment of it; and was favoured with a discovery of pardoning grace; and in it he takes upon him to instruct others, Ps 32:8,9, and does instruct in the doctrine of the pardon of sin by the grace of God. {k} Elias Levita in Tishbi, p. 271. {l} lykvm "erudiens", Musculus, Munster, Vatablus, Montanus; "informans", Gejerus; "an instructing psalm", Ainsworth.
