Charles H. Spurgeon on Psalms 32:1

Sin covered. This covering hath relation to some nakedness and filthiness which should be covered, even sin, which defileth us and maketh us naked. Why, saith Moses to Aaron, hast thou made the people naked? Ex 32:25. The garments of our merits are too short and cannot cover us, we have need therefore to borrow of Christ Jesus his merits and the mantle of his righteousness, that it may be unto us as a garment, and as those breeches of leather which God made unto Adam and Eve after their fall. Garments are ordained to cover our nakedness, defend us from the injury of the weather, and to adorn us. So the mediation of our Saviour serveth to cover our nakedness, that the wrath of God seize not upon us —he is that "white raiment" wherewith we should be clothed, that our filthy nakedness may not appear —to defend us against Satan —he is "mighty to save, "etc. —and to be an ornament to decorate us, for he is that "wedding garment:" "Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ."
