This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
thy righteousness - not stern justice in punishing, but Thy faithfulness to Thy promises of mercy to them who trust in Thee (Psa 31:1; Psa 143:1).
thy city - chosen as Thine in the election of grace, which changes not.
for ... iniquities of ... fathers - (Exo 20:5). He does not impugn God’s justice in this, as did the murmurers (Eze 18:2, Eze 18:3; compare Jer 31:29).
thy people ... a reproach - which brings reproach on Thy name. “All the nations that are about us” will say that Thou, Jehovah, wast not able to save Thy peculiar people. So Dan 9:17, “for the Lord’s sake”; Dan 9:19, “for Thine own sake” (Isa 48:9, Isa 48:11).
