4. Against thee, thee only have I sinned. The
virus of sin lies in its opposition to God. And done this evil in thy sight.
David felt that his sin was committed in all its filthiness while Jehovah
himself looked on. None but a child of God cares for the eye of God, but where
there is grace in the soul it reflects a fearful guilt upon every evil act,
when we remember that the God whom we offend was present when the trespass was
committed. That thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be dear when thou judgest. He could not present any argument against divine
justice, if it proceeded at once to condemn him and punish him for his crime.
His own confession, and the judge’s own witness of the whole transaction,
placed the transgression beyond all question or debate.
