Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 6. We have sinned ] Here the confession begins; what preceded was only the introduction to what follows: Our forefathers sinned, and suffered; we, like them, have sinned, and do suffer.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-12 - Here begins a confession of sin; for we must acknowledge that the Lor has done right, and we have done wickedly. We are encouraged to hop 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 sav us for his own name's sake, and to the praise of his power and grace we should all perish.
