Psalms 90:8 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

Psalms 90:8Thou hast set our iniquities before thee - Every one of our transgressions is set before thee; noted and minuted down in thy awful register!

Our secret sins - Those committed in darkness and privacy are easily discovered by thee, being shown by the splendours of thy face shining upon them. Thus we light a candle, and bring it into a dark place to discover its contents. O, what can be hidden from the allseeing eye of God? Darkness is no darkness to him; wherever he comes there is a profusion of light - for God is light!
