For I [am] ready to halt, and my sorrow [is] continually before me.
Ver. 17. For I am ready to halt] i.e. To misbehave mysetf and so to mar a good cause by ill-managing it, and then what will become of thy great name? This is a very forcible motive to prevail with a jealous and just God.
And my sorrow is continually before me] That is, my sin, as Ecclesiastes 11:10 : or, my sorrow, but much more my sin the cause of it.
