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 BIENAVENTURADO aquel cuyas iniquidades son perdonadas, y borrados sus pecados.
2 Bienaventurado el hombre á quien no imputa Jehová la iniquidad, Y en cuyo espíritu no hay superchería.
3 Mientras callé, envejeciéronse mis huesos En mi gemir todo el día.
4 Porque de día y de noche se agravó sobre mí tu mano; Volvióse mi verdor en sequedades de estío. (Selah.)
5 Mi pecado te declaré, y no encubrí mi iniquidad. Confesaré, dije, contra mí mis rebeliones á Jehová; Y tú perdonaste la maldad de mi pecado. (Selah.)
