Context of Psalms 19:12
10The fear of Adonai is clean, enduring forever. The judgments of Adonai are true and altogether righteous. 11They are more desirable than gold, yes, more than much pure gold! They are sweeter than honey and drippings of the honeycomb. Moreover by them Your servant is warned. In keeping them there is great reward. 13Who can discern his errors? Cleanse me of hidden faults. 14Also keep Your servant from willful sins. May they not have dominion over me. Then I will be blameless, free from great transgression.

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.

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

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. David not only desired to be pardoned and cleansed from the sins he had discovered and confessed, but from those he had forgotten or…Read the comment

- 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
