psalms 130:3 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

psalms 130:3 If Thou, LORD, shouldst mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?

3. shouldest mark--or, "take strict account" (Job 10:14; 14:16), implying a confession of the existence of sin.
who shall stand-- (Ps 1:6). Standing is opposed to the guilty sinking down in fear and self-condemnation (Mal 3:2; Re 6:15, 16). The question implies a negative, which is thus more strongly stated.
