Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 18. - If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me. This is the inward conviction of every simple, unsophisticated soul. It is confirmed by numerous passages of Holy Writ (Job 27:9; Job 31:27; Proverbs 15:29; Proverbs 28:9; Isaiah 1:15; Zechariah 7:13; John 9:31, etc.).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(18) If I regard . . .--Rather, if I had seen evil (i.e., had had it purposely in view) in my heart, the Lord would not have heard me. One may not "be pardoned and retain the offence." The reference may be either to the forming of wicked schemes, or to the complacent view of wickedness in others.The protestation of innocence in this verse, being made by or for the community at large, marks a late period for the composition.
