Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Psalms 19:12-14

_ _ The clearer our view of the law, the more manifest are our sins. Still for its full effect we need divine grace to show us our faults, acquit us, restrain us from the practice, and free us from the power, of sin. Thus only can our conduct be blameless, and our words and thoughts acceptable to God.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Psalms 19:7-14.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Psalms 19:12

Who — Thy law, O Lord, is holy and just and good. But I fall infinitely short of it. Cleanse — Both by justification, through the blood of thy son; and by sanctification thro' thy holy spirit. Though the first may seem to be principally intended, because he speaks of his past sins. Secret — From the guilt of such sins as were secret either, from others; such as none knows but God and my own conscience: or, from myself; such as I never observed, or did not discern the evil of. Pardon my unknown sins, of which I never repented particularly, as I should have done.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Psalms 19:12

Who can understand [his] (l) errors? cleanse thou me from secret [faults].

(l) Then there is no reward of duty, but of grace: for where sin is, there death is the reward.
