Two sinners

David begins Psalm 32 talking about a man whose sin is not covered. He talks about him in the third person but then in the middle verses of the Psalm he changes the pronoun and talks about "my sin", "my iniquity", "my transgressions". He now takes ownership of his sin and confesses it to God. We cannot truly confess our sins if we talk about them in the third person.
