Who can discern his errors? Forgive my hidden faults. Psalm 19:12 (NIV)
Who can avoid sinning? Please do not punish my unintentional sins.
The psalmist begins with a question: “Who can avoid sinning?”
No one! “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23 NASB).
The question is followed by a request: “Please do not punish my unintentional sins.” “Teach me what I cannot see; if I have done wrong, I will not do so again’” (Job 34:32 NIV).
