EXPLANATION

Verse 9. Iniquity, who have fostered my passions, (Bert.) or sought my ruin. I now perceive who were my true friends. Calmet.—Lord. He is twice mentioned in the next verse, in honour of the blessed Trinity, as a German commentator remarks, after the ancient interpreters (Bert.) and Fathers. They have constantly had an eye to these grand truths, which are nevertheless proved by clearer passages of Scripture. Bible.—David confides in God, as every true penitent may do, for protection. Worthington.—He had also been assured of pardon by Nathan, the prophet. Bible.
