Theological / Devotional

Mine iniquities. Emphasizing the meaning of v. 3.

Too heavy. The sudden change of figure from the idea of sin passing over the head, for example, like waves of the sea, to the idea of the unbearable burden of sin, may suggest confusion of thought as a result of the illness (see on vs. 8, 10).
