12 They also that sought after my lyfe layde snares [for me]: and they that went about to do me euyll, talked of wickednesse, and imagined deceipt all the day long. 13 As for me, as one deafe I woulde not heare: and [I was] as one that is dumbe [who] coulde not open his mouth. 14 I became euen as a man that heareth not: and who hath no replies in his mouth. 15 For on thee O God I haue wayted: thou shalt aunswere for me O Lorde my God. 16 For I sayde [heare me] lest that they shoulde triumph on me: who auaunce [them selues] greatly agaynst me when my foote doth slyp. 17 Because I am disposed to a haltyng: and my sorowe is euer in my syght. 18 Because I confesse my wickednesse: and am sory for my sinne. 19 But myne enemies lyuyng [without payne] are mightie: & they that hate me wrongfully are increased in number. 20 They also that rewarde euyl for good are agaynst me: because I folowe the thyng that is good. 21 Forsake me not O God: O my Lorde be not thou farre fro me.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For I will declare mine iniquity,.... Either to men, to ease his mind, justify God in his proceedings with him, and for their caution and admonition: or rather to God, against whom he had sinned, and who only could pardon him; with a view to which he was determined to make a free and open confession of it before him:

I will be sorry for my sin, or "careful" p about it; that is, how he committed it for the future: true repentance for sin produces a carefulness to abstain from all appearance of it; see 2 Corinthians 7:10.

p אדאג "solicitus ero", Montanus; so Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Gejerus, Michaelis, Ainsworth.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For I will declare mine iniquity - That is, he was not disposed to hide his sin. He would make no concealment of the fact that he regarded himself as a sinner. He admitted this to be true, and he admitted that his sin was the cause of all his troubles. It was the fact that he was a sinner that so painfully affected his mind; and he was not disposed to attempt to conceal it from anyone.

I will be sorry for my sin - I will not deny it; I will not apologize for it. I admit the truth of what my conscience charges on me; I admit the correctness and the propriety of the divine judgment by which I have been affiicted on account of my sin; I desire to repent of all my transgressions, and to turn from them. Compare Leviticus 26:41. The calamity brought upon the psalmist for his sin had produced the desired effect in this respect, that it had brought him to true repentance; and now, with the full confession of his sin, he was anxious only lest he should fall utterly, and should give his enemies, and the enemies of the truth, the occasion to triumph over him which they desired.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 38:18. I will declare mine iniquity — I will confess it with the deepest humiliation and self-abasement.
