Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; their minds and hearts are searched by the righteous God.

Verse 9. Innocence. Hebrew “simplicity,” which has the same meaning. Bible. He speaks of the justice of his cause (Muis) against his particular enemies. Worthington.—Saint Paul thus commends himself. 2 Timothy 4:7. The justice of the saints is not merely imputed, as the first Protestants foolishly imagined: for how should God reward those whom he saw still in sin, and who were only reputed holy? a notion which their disciples have modified or abandoned, as they have also done what had been taught respecting grace. Justice is an effect of God’s grace, and of man’s co-operation. 1 Corinthians 15:10. Bert.—David begs that the disposer of kingdoms would convince Saul that he was not a rebel: and the world, that he had not lost God’s favour, like his rival. Bible.
