Psalms73:15
15 If I say, I will speak thus : behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children .
I will give Sentence for the ungodly in this manner.
By grieving and discouraging and Condemning them, and by tempting them to revolt from God, and Godliness. But because the Hebrew Verb, Bagad, in this Sence is always, so far as I have observed, Construed with the Proposition, Beth, which is not here; and is constantly put before that Proposition and Word which it governs, and not after, as here it is, I rather joyn with them, who render the place thus; which is more agreeable to the Words and Order of the Text, Behold the Generation of thy Children, (or, Behold these are the Generation of thy Children, as appears by thy fatherly Care of, and indulgence and kindness to them, whilst thou dost at present seem to treat them like Bastards, who are more truly called thy Children, dealing roughly and severely with them.) I shall (or rather, should, to wit, in speaking so) Transgress or Prevaricate, speak against the Truth, and against my own Conscience, which assureth me that these are the haters of God, and hated and Cursed by him.
