1. “Who can understand his errors?...”

a. Who [Strong: 4310  miy me an interrogative pronoun of persons, as 4100 is of things, who? (occasionally, by a peculiar idiom, of things); also (indefinitely) whoever; often used in oblique construction with prefix or suffix:--any (man), X he, X him, + O that! what, which, who(-m, -se, -soever), + would to God.]

2. “...cleanse thou me from secret faults.”

a. cleanse [Strong: 5352 nâqâh, naw-kaw'; a primitive root; to be (or make) clean (literally or figuratively); by implication (in an adverse sense) to be bare, i.e. extirpated:—acquit × at all, × altogether, be blameless, cleanse, (be) clear(-ing), cut off, be desolate, be free, be (hold) guiltless, be (hold) innocent, × by no means, be quit, be (leave) unpunished, × utterly, × wholly.]

1). The New Testament is by far a better revelation than the Old Testament. The New reveals man is a three part being, spirit soul and body, the whole nature of man (1 Thessalonians 5:23), where the Old mainly only dealt with the outward. The New Testament reveals the law of sin and death and the only way of escape from it is in Christ jesus (Romans 7:14-8:11).
