  • Isaiah 43:25 (thematic): God declares 'I, I am he who blots out your transgressions,' echoing the theme that sins are removed/forgiven and the sinner is thus blessed.
  • Isaiah 44:22 (thematic): 'I have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud' parallels the idea that sin is covered/forgiven and the forgiven person is blessed.
  • Psalm 103:3 (thematic): Psalm 103 celebrates God's pardoning of all iniquities and diseases, resonating with Psalm 32:1's affirmation that forgiveness brings blessedness.
  • 1 John 1:9 (thematic): The promise that confessing sins results in forgiveness and cleansing corresponds to Psalm 32's focus on the blessedness of one whose transgression is forgiven and covered.

Parallels

  • Rom.4:7-8 (quotation): Paul cites Psalm 32:1-2 (ascribed to David) to show that forgiveness, not works, is accounted as righteousness—explicit quotation/interpretation of the blessing of forgiven sin.
  • Ps.130:3-4 (verbal): Both verses contrast divine forgiveness with God's ability to 'mark' or 'count' sins, affirming that forgiveness/resolution of sin rests with the LORD rather than human standing.
  • Isa.43:25 (allusion): God's declaration that he blots out transgressions and will not remember sins echoes the theme of a person being blessed because their sin is forgiven/covered by God.
  • Mic.7:18-19 (thematic): Micah celebrates God's unique willingness to forgive and to cast sins into the depths—parallel theme of divine pardon making the sinner 'blessed.'
  • Ps.103:3 (thematic): Like Psalm 32:2, Psalm 103 emphasizes God's forgiving of sins and healing as reasons for blessing and gratitude—shared vocabulary and theological focus on forgiveness.

Parallels

  • Psalm 6:6-7 (thematic): Describes weariness and wasting from continual groaning and tears—parallels the image of bones/strength wasting under the pressure of unrelieved lament in Ps 32:3.
  • Proverbs 28:13 (thematic): Contrasts covering/keeping silent about sin with the mercy that comes from confession; thematically complements Ps 32’s contrast between silence that wounds and the relief of confession.
  • Psalm 51:3-4 (thematic): David’s forthright confession of sin stands as a direct counterpoint to the ‘kept silence’ of Ps 32:3; both concern the moral/psychological consequences of sin and the need to acknowledge it.
  • James 5:16 (thematic): Urges confessing sins for healing—New Testament application of the principle in Ps 32:3 that concealment breeds suffering while confession leads to restoration.

Parallels

  • Psalm 38:2–4 (verbal): Speaks of God's hand pressing down and arrows sticking fast, portraying God's punitive pressure on the body and spirit much like the 'hand heavy upon me' image in Ps 32:4.
  • Psalm 102:4–5 (thematic): Uses withering/drying imagery ('my heart is smitten and withered like grass'); parallels Ps 32:4's 'moisture turned to the drought of summer' to describe spiritual and physical desiccation under divine distress.
  • Isaiah 24:4–5 (thematic): Describes the earth languishing and withering because of judgment and the breaking of covenantal order — thematically similar to Ps 32:4's image of parchedness as a consequence of divine anger or affliction.

Of David, a maskil. Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

Blessed is the one to whom the LORD does not impute iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

For I kept silent; my body wasted away through my groaning all day long.

For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my vigor was turned to drought—my strength parched as in summer. Selah.

I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD," and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

Therefore let everyone who is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found; when great floods of waters come, they shall not reach him.

You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah.

I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will counsel you—my eye is upon you.

Do not be like a horse or a mule, without understanding; with bit and bridle they must be curbed, else they will not come near you.

Many are the pains of the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the LORD.

Rejoice in the LORD and be glad, you righteous; shout for joy, all you upright in heart.

Rejoice, you righteous, in the LORD; it is fitting for the upright to give praise.

Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre; with the ten-stringed harp sing praise to him.

Sing to him a new song; play skillfully and shout for joy.

For the word of the LORD is upright, and all his work is done in faithfulness.

He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the LORD.

By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and by the breath of his mouth all their host.

He gathers the waters of the sea like a heap; he puts the deep places in storehouses.

Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all who dwell in the world stand in awe of him.

For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.

The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; he frustrates the plans of the peoples.

The counsel of the LORD stands forever; the purposes of his heart endure to all generations.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he has chosen as his inheritance.

From the heavens the LORD looks; he sees all the children of mankind.

From his dwelling place he observes all who live on the earth.
