I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
Ver. 4. I said, Lord, be merciful unto me: heal] Heal me in mercy, and begin at the inside first. Heal my soul of sin, and then my body of sickness; heal me every whit. These, to the end, are the sick man's words, saith Kimchi. And this is the character of the Lord's poor man, to whom the foresaid comforts do belong, saith another.
For I have sinned against thee] He crieth peccavi, not peril. Sanationem a capite orditur, he beginneth at the right end.
