Acquitted Blameless Clear Declared Dominion Faultless Free Great Innocent Ones Presumptuous Pride Rule Servant Sin Sins Transgression Upright Willful

12. David prays for grace














(13) Presumptuous sin.--The Heb., from root meaning to "boil up" or "over," is properly masculine, and always elsewhere means proud or arrogant men. (So Symmachus and Aquila.) Hence here explain, "Keep thy servant from the companionship of arrogant men, so that they may not get dominion over me, and lead me away from thy Law."

The great transgression.--Rather, a great transgression, though even without the article it is possible the particular sin of idolatry is intended.

Verse 13. - Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins (comp. Exodus 21:14; Numbers 15:30; Deuteronomy 17:12). Wilful, intentional, deliberate sins are intended - such as cut off from grace. They are called "presumptuous ones," being "personified as tyrants who strive to bring the servant of God into unbecoming subjection to them" (Hengstenberg). Let them not have dominion over me (comp. Psalm 119:133; Romans 6:14). Then shall I be upright; or, "blameless" (ἄμωμος, LXX.). And I shall be innocent from the great transgression. There is no article in the original. Translate, and innocent of great transgression (see the Revised Version).
