Psa 51:4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done [this] evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, [and] be clear when thou judgest. Ver. 4. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned ] This he spake in respect of the secresy of his sins, say some; whence also it followeth, "And done this evil in thy sight."

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Psalms 51:4

Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.Thee only — Which is not to be, understood absolutely, because he had sinned against Bathsheba and Uriah, and many others; but comparatively. So the sense is, though I have sinned against my own conscience, and against others; yet nothing is more grievous to me, than that I have sinned against thee.Thy sight — With gross contempt of thee,... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 51:3

3. In Psalms 51:3-5 are brought out more distinctly the psalmist’s clear sense of guilt, and his free confessions. I acknowledge Literally, I will know. The word is expressive of clear internal perception of sin. The willingness to know sin is the first step towards repentance, and the open expression of this knowledge is the exact idea of acknowledge, confess. Transgressions He uses the plural here as in Psalms 51:1. He had caused the death of Uriah, used deceit, covered his sin,... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 51:4

4. Against thee, thee only The particle rendered “only,” should here take its radical signification of separately, apart, as it often does elsewhere. The sense is, “against thee, against thee” apart, or separately, from all human relations of my offense, have I sinned. His sin against humanity was great, but he now sees more clearly than ever that each sin against humanity is a sin against God, and it was the divine law, the relations of his soul to God, which gave sin its peculiar... read more
