Psa 66:18, Isa 58:6 | JFB | STEP | 18. If I regard iniquity in my heart

Psalms 66:18

18. If I regard iniquity in my heart—literally, "see iniquity with pleasure."

Isaiah 58:6

6. loose . . . bands of wickedness—that is, to dissolve every tie wherewith one has unjustly bound his fellow men (Le 25:49, &c.). Servitude, a fraudulent contract, &c.

undo . . . heavy burdens—Hebrew, "loose the bands of the yoke."

oppressed—literally, "the broken." The expression, "to let go free," implies that those "broken" with the yoke of slavery, are meant (Ne 5:10-12; Jer 34:9-11, 14, 16). JEROME interprets it, broken with poverty; bankrupt.
