18. Look upon mine affliction and my pain. Note the
many trials of the saints; in verses 16–18 we
have no less than six words all descriptive of woe. But note yet more the
submissive and believing spirit of a true saint; he does not dictate, or even
express a complaint; a look from God will content him. Even more noteworthy is
the way in which he discovers the true source of all the mischief, and lays the
axe to the root of it: forgive all my sins is the cry of a soul that is
more sick of sin than of pain, and would sooner be forgiven than healed.
Blessed is he to whom sin is more unbearable than disease; he shall not be long
before the Lord shall both forgive his iniquity and heal his diseases.
