We have sinned with our fathers,.... Sinned in their first father Adam; derived a corrupt nature from their immediate ancestors; sinned after the similitude of their transgressions; sinned after their example, in like manner as they did; guilty of the same gross enormities as they were: though sufficiently warned by the words of the prophets, and by punishments inflicted, they continued their sins, a constant series and course of them, and filled up the measure of their iniquities; they rose up in their stead an increase of sinful men, to augment the fierce anger of God, Nu 32:14.
And this the psalmist, in the name of the people of Israel, confesses, as it was his and their duty and interest so to do, Le 26:40, and as we find it was usual with Old Testament saints, Jer 3:25.
