Psalms 19:12 (KJV)
Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
Having read the Psalm to reach this point, I see a progression of Gods revelation
The heavens declare the glory of God
But they do not reveal the identity or Person of God
The heavens declare the glory of God
But they do not reveal the identity or Person of God
Men speak of the nature of God
Having been revealed in the heavens, corrupt man speculates on who or what God is
Having been revealed in the heavens, corrupt man speculates on who or what God is
But the Word of God, that details who God is and how far short of Him we come
In light of this, the Psalmist writes, “Who can understand his errors.”
In light of this, the Psalmist writes, “Who can understand his errors.”
Barnes writes, “The reason why any man is elated with a conviction of his own goodness is that he has no just sense of the requirements of the law of God; and the more anyone studies that law, the more will he be convinced of the extent of his own depravity.
Hence, the importance of preaching the law, that sinners may be brought to conviction of sin; hence the importance of presenting it constantly before the mind of even the believer, that he may be kept from pride, and may walk humbly before God.”

It is the Word of God that:
- Convicts us of sin,
- Moves us to confession,
- Corrects our errors and
- Convinces us of the hope in Christ
