Psalm 32

Psalm 32 references the Trinitarian nature of God. The Trinity – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – is subtly woven into the psalm’s imagery. The Son is included as the ‘Word of the Lord’ (as in the opening of St John’s Gospel) and the Spirit in evoked in phrases such as ‘the breath of his mouth’. The Father’s power and role as Creator feature throughout the psalm; for example: ‘He commanded; they sprang into being’.
