Theological / Devotional

Iniquities. Literally, “words of iniquities,” or “things of iniquities.” The psalmist mentions his own guilt before he makes reference to that of his people (see Dan. 9:20).

Shalt purge them away. From the Heb. kaphar, commonly translated “to atone for” (Ex. 29:37; etc.; see on Ps. 32:1).
