On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

In this former part of the psalm, I. David engages and excites himself to praise God. Though it was his fault that he changed his behaviour, yet it was God's mercy that he escaped, and the mercy was so much the greater in that God did not deal with him according to the desert of his dissimulation, and we must in every thing give thanks.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
