Grief Over Sin as a Sign of Grace
Commentators agree that the psalmist's intense sorrow, described as 'rivers of waters,' is caused by seeing others disregard God's law. This deep grief over the sins of others is not just an emotional reaction but, as Charles Spurgeon and John Calvin note, a 'blessed sign of grace' and a mark of true piety. It reveals a heart that loves God and is genuinely pained when His honor is violated.
