Psalms 19:11-12

Psalms 19:11-12. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. Who can understand his errors.

While David is speaking of the Book that has no errors in it, he is reminded of his own errors; and they strike him as being so many that he cannot understand them. Every sin is really an error, a mistake, a blunder, as well as something a great deal worse. It is never a wise thing to do wrong. At the end of a book, we sometimes find that the printers insert a list of "Errata,"-errors made in the printing of the volume. Ah, me! we shall need to have a long list of "Errata" at the end of the volume of our lives. How many mistakes we have made! Augustine, in his "Confessions," amended what he had written amiss in his previous books. The best of men need continually to confess their errors, but God’s Book has no error in it from beginning to end.
