13. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways. It was his fixed resolve to be a teacher of others; and assuredly none
instruct others so well as those who have experienced the teaching of God
themselves. Their matter will be good, and their manner will be telling, for
they will speak sympathetically. If unworthy to edify saints, the psalmist
would creep in along with the sinners, and humbly tell them of divine love. The
mercy of God to one is an illustration of his usual procedure, so that our own
case helps us to understand his ways, or his general modes of action;
perhaps, too, David under that term refers to the preceptive part of the word
of God, which many have broken, and suffered thereby, and which he could urge
upon other offenders. And sinners shall be converted unto thee. My fall
will be the restoration of others. Thou wilt bless my testimony to the recovery
of many who, like myself, have turned aside unto crooked ways.
