Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.
Thou meetest - i:e., Thou makest peace, or enterest into covenant with him (note, Isaiah 47:3).
Him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness - i:e., who with joyful willingness worketh (Gesenius.) (Hosea 14:9; Micah 2:7; Acts 10:35; John 7:17).
(Those that) remember thee in thy ways - (Isaiah 26:8.) Thou meetest "those," etc., in apposition to "him," who represents a class whose characteristics the prophet describes in the words "those that remember thee in thy ways."
Behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned - literally, tripped, or slipped ( necheTaa' (H2398)), carrying on the figure in "ways."
In those is continuance, and we shall be saved - a plea to deprecate the continuance of God's wrath: it is not in thy wrath that there is continuance (Isaiah 54:7-8; Psalms 30:5; Psalms 103:9), but in thy ways ("those") - namely, of covenant-mercy to thy people (Micah 7:18-20; Malachi 3:6); on the strength of the everlasting continuance of His covenant they infer by faith, "we shall be saved." God "remembered for them His covenant" (Psalms 106:45), though they often "remembered not" Him (Psalms 78:42). Castalio translates, 'we have sinned for long in them ("thy ways"), and could we then be saved?' But they hardly would use such a plea when their very object was to be saved.
