The Lord.
whose.
 But it needs reconciliation with Himself above all, the unclouded light of This countenance; as regards its own state forgiveness, and the absence of guilt. The entire removal of all guilt before God, and His complete forgiveness, is beautifully connected here with purifying the heart and inner man, the taking out guile, and this in the confession of actual sins. (Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 29-32 by J.N. Darby)
 What a blessing it is to have the perfect light of God on an unsullied soul, not an innocent one. (Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 29-32 by J.N. Darby)
 He sees the sin truly, but sees, and because he sees, it is not imputed. But the phrase is absolute and general— “to whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity.” It is an absolute condition of the individual; it is not his iniquity or particular fault forgiven, though, doubtless, that is so too, but absolute non-imputation of any. The man exists before God as having no sin, according to the judgment of God. Then my heart is open and free before God. I have the consciousness of this, and look up to God as having no sin, with the consciousness that He sees none. Hence there is no cloud, nothing to hide. This is not so, however, when confession is not made. (Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 29-32 by J.N. Darby)
 The sin is not denied, or excused, or belittled―that would be guile; it is fully confessed. (Psalms 32 by H. Smith)
