Abstract

I have fallen in love with Psalm 32 when journaling through the psalms as a teenager. The aim was to rewrite each psalm and to make notes. Psalm 32 stood out among other psalms. Aspects of Psalm 32 that came to the fore were its personal tone. The author is sincere and honest in his account of his circumstances, and the YHWH addressed him directly, by promising proximity and guidance. I do hope that the reading of this in-depth study of Psalm 32 will yield similar results in modern-day readers.
