Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 130:3

3 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities : O LORD, who shall stand ?

Observe them accurately, and punish them severely, as they deserve.

In thy presence, or at thy Tribunal. No man can acquit himself or escape the sentence of condemnation, because all men are sinners, Eccles. 7. 20. Iam. 3. 2. To stand is a judicial phrase, and notes a mans being absolved o[illegible: 1+ letters] justified upon an equal tryal, as Psal. 1. 5. Rom. 14. 4. where it is opposed to falling.
