Verse 36
Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel ,.... By removing the judgment of drought upon them:
that thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk ; the way of worship and duty prescribed by the Lord which was good in itself, and good for them, good things being enjoyed by them that walk therein; and this the Lord sometimes teaches by afflictions, as well as by his word; but whenever he does it, it is by his Spirit, and then afflictions are blessings, Psalm 104:19 where the same phrase is differently rendered:
and give rain upon the land which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance ; as he did at the prayer of Elijah, James 5:18 .
