Thou, even thou, art Lord alone, &c.--In this solemn and impressive prayer, in which they make public confession of their sins, and deprecate the judgments due to the transgressions of their fathers, they begin with a profound adoration of God, whose supreme majesty and omnipotence is acknowledged in the creation, preservation, and government of all.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

If we will not suffer God's word to teach and rule us, it will accuse and judge us. God sends prophets, in compassion to his people ( 2 Chron. xxxvi. 15 ), that he may not send judgments.
