4. For mine iniquities are gone over mine head. Like waves of the deep sea; like a black mire in which a man utterly
sinks. Above my hopes, my strength, and my life itself, my sin rises in its
terror. Unawakened sinners think their sins to be mere shallows, but when
conscience is aroused they find out the depth of iniquity. As an heavyburden they are too heavy for me. It is well when sin is an intolerable
load, and when the remembrance of our sins burdens us beyond endurance. This
verse is the genuine cry of one who feels himself undone by his transgressions
and as yet sees not the great sacrifice.
