Iniquities
Psalm 65:3
Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, you shall purge them away.


I. THE LANGUAGE OF COMPLAINT — "Imquities prevail," etc. They may do so —

1. In the growing sense of our guilt. As light increases, we see them more and more.

2. In the power of their acting. This prevalence cannot be entire, for sin shall not have dominion over the believer in Christ. He may be bruised, but he is not enslaved.

II. OF TRIUMPH. The Lord purges away our transgressions.

1. By His pardoning mercy.

2. By His sanctifying grace. And that He will do this the Christian is confidently persuaded.

(W. Jay.)
