| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
That which I see not, teach thou me - That is, in regard to my errors and sins. No prayer could be more appropriate than this. It is language becoming every one who is afflicted, and who does not see clearly the reason why it is done. The sense is, that with a full belief that he is liable to error and sin, that he has a wicked and deceitful heart, and that God never afflicts without reason, he should go to him and ask him to show him "why" he has afflicted him. He should not complain or repine; he should not accuse God of injustice or partiality; he should not attempt to cloak his offences, but should go and entreat him to make him acquainted with the sins of heart and life which have led to these calamities. Then only will he be in a state of mind in which he will be likely to be profited by trials.
If I have done iniquity, I will do no more - Admitting the possibility that he had erred. Who is there that cannot appropriately use this language when he is afflicted? |

| That - The secret sins which I cannot discover, manifest thou to me. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| That which I see not - "What I do not know, teach thou me; wherein I have done iniquity, I will do so no more." |
22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
2 I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.
