This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

My transgressions; for it was not a single, but a complicated wickedness, adultery, murder, injustice, perfidiousness; and frequent repetition of and long and stupid continuance in abominable filthiness, and that with public scandal.



My sin is ever before me; that which I had cast behind my back is now constantly in my view, and fixed in my thoughts and memory.
