Context of Psalms 19:12
10They are more valuable than gold, even the best gold. They are sweeter than the best honey. 11Your laws warn us to do what is right. If we obey them, they are a great help to us. Nobody realizes every time they do something wrong. Please forgive me for the sins that I do not know about. 13Lord, stop me doing things that I know are wrong. Do not let those sins rule my life. Then I will not be guilty. I will not have turned against you in a bad way. 14Lord, I want to make you happy. I want my words and my thoughts to please you. You are my strong Rock and you are my Redeemer.

Commentaries on Psalms 19:12
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 12Who can understand his errors? - It is not possible, without much of the Divine light, to understand all our deviations from, not only the letter, but the spirituality, of the Divine law. Frequent self-examination, and walking in the light, are essentially necessary to the requisite degree of spiritual perfection. Cleanse thou me from secret faults - From those which I have committed, and have forgotten; from those for which I have not repented; from…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 12Who can understand his errors? - The word rendered errors is derived from a verb which means to wander, to go astray; then, to do wrong, to transgress. It refers here to wanderings, or departures from the law of God, and the question seems to have been asked in view of the purity, the strictness, and the extent of the law of God. In view of a law so pure, so holy, so strict in its demands, and so extended in its requirements - asserting jurisdiction over…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 11-14Verses 11-14 God's word warns the wicked not to go on in his wicked way, and warns the righteous not to turn from his good way. There is a reward, not only after keeping, but in keeping God's commandments. Religion makes our comforts sweet, and our crosses easy, life truly valuable, and death itself truly desirable.

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 12-1412-14. The clearer our view of the law, the more manifest are our sins. Still for its full effect we need divine grace to show us our faults, acquit us, restrain us from the practice, and free us from the power, of sin. Thus only can our conduct be blameless, and our words and thoughts acceptable to God.Read the comment
