Whence observe,
That God takes notice of the sins and failings of his own people.
That God takes notice of the sinnes and failings of his owne people.
If I sin, then thou markest me; and in the 14th Chapter, verse 16. Thou numberest my steps, dost thou not watch over my sin? Thou numberest my steps, What steps? He meaneth not the steps of his outward, but of his inward man: or the steps of his outward man in order to the inward. There is a moral walking, Walk before me, and be upright: walking is conversing or acting: so, Thou numberest my steps, thou tellest my moral motions, the actings of my soul and body, what I do, and what I think, Dost thou not watch over my sin? And again (Chap. 31.4.) Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps? That is, how my conversation is ordered, both toward himself, and toward my neighbour? Thus the Lord counteth all our steps, we cannot step aside or tread awry, but he observes us. There are two that keep a record of our lives.
