This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Former iniquities; the sins committed by our forefathers, and by us, who have filled up the measure of their sins, for which we confess thou hast most righteously brought this desolating judgment upon us.
Thy tender mercies; upon which all our confidence is fixed; for merit and righteousness we have none. See Dan_9:7,9.
Prevent us; prevent our utter extirpation, which we have deserved, and have great reason to expect.
Brought very low; past the hopes of all human help, and therefore the glory of our deliverance will be wholly thine.
