John Owen on Psalm 130

Verse 3
"It is true, O Lord, Thou God great and terrible, that if Thou shouldst deal with me in this condition, with any man living, with the best of Thy saints, according to the strict and exact tenor of the law, which first represents itself to my guilty conscience and troubled soul; if Thou shouldst take notice of, observe, and keep in remembrance, mine, or their, or the iniquity of any one, to the end that Thou mightst deal with them, and recompense unto them according to the sentence thereof, there would be, neither for me nor them, any the least expectation of deliverance. All flesh must fail before Thee, and the spirits which Thou hast made, and that to eternity; for who could stnad before Thee when Thou shouldst so execute Thy displeasure?"
