Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 38:18

18. For I will declare mine iniquity ; I will be sorry for my sin .

Either to thee: Or publickly to the World, because my sin hath been publick and Scandalous.

Heb. I will be (Or, I am: Futures being oft so taken) Solicitous or Anxious, full of Grief for what is past, and of Cares and Fears for the Future; Partly, lest I should Relapse into the same folly, upon new Temptations, and Partly, lest thou shouldest cut me off, for my sins. Therefore Pity and pardon, and save me.

Or, by reason of my sin, or upon that occasion.
