What does Psalms 32:1-2 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

This psalm begins like Psalm 1. "Blessed" (happy) means having received blessings from the Lord, one of which is joy. David described divine forgiveness in several ways in these verses. Under the Mosaic economy an innocent animal that suffered death, the punishment for sin, took the guilt of the sinner in his or her place. This provision was only temporary, however, until God would provide a perfect human being whose substitute death would atone for sin fully ( Hebrews 9:11-14; cf. Romans 4:7-8).
