1The word signifieth most properly that which is equal; And hence some give the sense thus, (which carrieth in it an eminent work of repentance) I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and have not that which is equal; That is, Though I am greatly afflicted, and my sorrows lye heavy upon me, yet they are not equal to my sinning, or perverse dealings with the Lord. I have not received as I was worthy, or according to my ill deservings. The Septuagint speak thus; God hath not made a strict inquisition for my sin. My iniquity is not charged upon me to the utmost. I have sinned grievously, but God hath dealt graciously with me, and hath not measured out to the full of mine iniquity. 'Tis an argument of true repentance to justify God in afflicting us. This is a pious and a profitable rendering of the text.
