Psalm 38:18 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 38:18

For I will declare mine iniquity
Either to men, to ease his mind, justify God in his proceedings with him, and for their caution and admonition: or rather to God, against whom he had sinned, and who only could pardon him; with a view to which he was determined to make a free and open confession of it before him:

I will be sorry for my sin,
or "careful" F16 about it; that is, how he committed it for the future: true repentance for sin produces a carefulness to abstain from all appearance of it; see ( 2 Corinthians 7:10 2 Corinthians 7:11 ) .

F16 (gada) "solicitus ero", Montanus; so Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Gejerus, Michaelis, Ainsworth.

Psalm 38:18 In-Context

16 Want op U, HEERE! hoop ik; Gij zult verhoren, HEERE, mijn God!
17 Want ik zeide: Dat zij zich toch over mij niet verblijden! Wanneer mijn voet zou wankelen, zo zouden zij zich tegen mij groot maken.
18 Want ik ben tot hinken gereed, en mijn smart is steeds voor mij.
19 Want ik maak U mijn ongerechtigheid bekend, ik ben bekommerd vanwege mijn zonde.
20 Maar mijn vijanden zijn levende, worden machtig; en die mij om valse oorzaken haten, worden groot.
