1, 2. (Compare Rom 4:6 ).
forgiven--literally, "taken away," opposed to retain ( Jhn 20:23 ).
covered--so that God no longer regards the sin ( Psa 85:3 ).
2. imputeth--charge to him, and treat him accordingly.
no guile--or, deceit, no false estimate of himself, nor insincerity before God (compare Rom 8:1 ).
3, 4. A vivid description of felt, but unacknowledged, sin.
When--literally, "for," as in Psa 32:4.
4. thy hand--of God, or power in distressing him ( Psa 38:2 ).

7. His experience illustrates the statement of Psa 32:6.

I will. . . mine eye--or, My eye shall be on thee, watching and directing thy way.
9. The latter clause, more literally, "in that they come not near thee"; that is, because they will not come, &c., unless forced by bit and bridle.
10. The sorrows of the impenitent contrasted with the peace and safety secured by God's mercy.
11. The righteous and upright, or those conforming to the divine teaching for securing the divine blessing, may well rejoice with shouting.
