This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





When I kept silence, to wit, from a full and open confession of my sins, as appears from Psa_32:5, and from pouring out my soul to God in serious and fervent prayers for pardon and peace. Whilst I concealed my sins, or smothered my fears, and, stifled the workings of my own conscience.



My bones waxed old; my spirits failed, and the strength of my body decayed:



Through my roaring all the day long; because of the continual horrors of my conscience, and sense of God’s wrath, wherewith I was as yet rather oppressed and overwhelmed, than brought to thorough repentance.
