Thou meetest, in a friendly and kindly manner, him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, happy in observing the covenant faithfulness, those that remember Thee in Thy ways, doing His will with joyful willingness. Behold, Thou art wroth, He became angry, for we have sinned. In those is continuance, the persistence in sin being a punishment in itself, and we shall be saved, or, "how could we have been saved?" The people having hardened their hearts, the Lord gave them up to their obstinacy, so that their deliverance seemed impossible.
