32:6-11 Application: Confess Our Sins Freely. The opening word of this section, therefore, shows that it is drawing a lesson for everyone who is godly, namely, to offer prayer (of confession) . . . at a time when God may be found; i.e., do not be foolish and wait indefinitely (cf. v. 9). The godly are not expected to be sinless; rather, they are those who believe God's promises and confess their sins (similarly the righteous, v. 11). Verses 6-7 are addressed to God, whom the faithful find to be a hiding place; vv. 8-11 are addressed to fellow worshipers, urging them to accept this instruction about ready confession and to be glad in the Lord, who shows such goodness to his people.
