INTRODUCTION TO Psalms 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...

I will instruct thee,.... Or "cause thee to understand" (q). These are by many thought to be the words of the Lord, who gives to a man an understanding of spiritual things; he instructs by his providence, and even by afflictive dispensations of providence; and by his word, which is written for the learning of men, and is profitable for doctrine and instruction in righteousness, and by the...
Matthew Henry
This psalm, though it speaks not of Christ, as many of the psalms we have hitherto met with have done, has yet a great deal of gospel in it. The apostle tells us that David, in this psalm, describes "the blessedness of the man unto whom God imputes righteousness without words," Rom. iv. 6. We have here a summary, I. Of gospel grace in the pardon of sin (ver. 1, 2), in divine protection (ver. 7),...

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way, which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. Here is another blessing. The God who has forgiven the errings of the past, will preserve us from erring again. God’s flowers always bloom double. He gives us justification; but he adds sanctification. He pardons our sins; but he also makes disciples and scholars of us, and teaches us the art of...

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go “I have led you so far; I have brought you up out of the horrible pit, and out of the miry clay; I will not let you perish now; I will not leave you to your own folly.” Psa_32:8. I will guide thee with mine eye. It is a very gentle way of guidance when a mistress just turns her eye towards her servant, who understands her without...
Charles H. Spurgeon
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. The forgiven man is afraid of going wrong again; he is as anxious about his future life as he was about his past sin. So the Lord meets him, and gives him the gracious promise contained in this verse.
Charles H. Spurgeon
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. A good servant frequently does not need even a word from her mistress to guide her as to some duty to be performed, or some fault to be avoided; a look is all that is necessary, just a glance of the eye gives the needful guidance. So the Lord says to his watchful servant, “I will guide thee with...

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. Here the Speaker is changed. “ I will instruct thee,” I have forgiven thee. “I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go.” I have prayed thee back to the way, now I will “teach thee in the way thou shalt go.” “ I will guide thee with mine eye,” thine own might lead thee...

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. I have not blotted out thy sins to leave thee to wander back into them again — I will be thy teacher, thy folly shalt not be thy ruin, thine ignorance shall not be thy destruction. I will guide thee — look at me! — “I will guide thee with mine eye.” A glance, a look, shall be enough for thee. I...
Charles H. Spurgeon
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. “Therefore, keep your eye on me; notice every movement of my eye, and be ready and obedient, at the slightest sign, to do my will.”
Charles H. Spurgeon
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. When God forgives, he also sanctifies. When he has brought back the sheep that wandered off into the wrong road, he afterwards leads it in the right track. Notice how the Lord says, “I will guide thee with mine eye.” A look from the Lord ought to be enough to guide us; we should not need a blow,...
Charles H. Spurgeon
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. And here the speaker changes: “I will instruct thee”; I have forgiven thee; “I will instruct thee, and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go.” I have restored thee back to the way; now I will teach thee in the way thou shalt go. “I will guide thee with mine eye”; thine own might lead thee...
