6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
6 We have sinned, even as our ancestors did; we have done wrong and acted wickedly.
6 Both we and our fathers have sinned; we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedness.
6 We've sinned a lot, both we and our parents; We've fallen short, hurt a lot of people.
6 We have sinned with our fathers, We have committed iniquity, We have done wickedly.
6 Like our ancestors, we have sinned. We have done wrong! We have acted wickedly!
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 106:6
Commentary on Psalm 106:6-12
(Read Psalm 106:6-12)
Here begins a confession of sin; for we must acknowledge that the Lord has done right, and we have done wickedly. We are encouraged to hope that though justly corrected, yet we shall not be utterly forsaken. God's afflicted people own themselves guilty before him. God is distrusted because his favours are not remembered. If he did not save us for his own name's sake, and to the praise of his power and grace, we should all perish.
