Commentary on Psalms 59:3
David's innocence claim 'not for my transgression, nor for my sin' demonstrates that suffering isn't always punitive. The Hebrew 'pesha' (transgression/rebellion) and 'chatta'ah' (sin/missing the mark) cover all categories of offense. David faces persecution despite righteousness, prefiguring Christ who suffered 'not for his own sins' but for ours (1 Peter 2:22-24).
