Psalms90:8
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee , our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
Thou dost not now cover or blot out or pass by our sins, as thou hast usually done to thy people; but thou dost diligently search them out, and accurately observe them, as a severe, but righteous Judge, and art now calling us to an account for them.
Thou dost not onely punish us for our notorious and scandalous sins, which thine honour may seem to oblige thee to do, but even for our secret lusts, the murmuring and unbelief and Apostasie and Idolatry of our hearts; which though hid from the eyes of men, thou hast set before thine eyes and brought them to light by thy judgments.
Marginal references: Heb. at the luminary of thy countenance.
