Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
Let none ... be ashamed - a prayer based on a fundamental principle of God a dealings. He has common cause with all that wait, on the Lord; such cannot consistently with God's honour be put to shame. The Chaldaic, Septuagint, Vulgate, Arabic, and Syriac translate as futures, 'all that wait on thee shall not be ashamed;' thus David lays down the general principle on which he founds the confidence of his particular prayer.
Which transgress without cause - namely, mine enemies (Psalms 25:2). The Hebrew for "transgress" (ha-bogedim) is to deal treacherously. The treacherous transgression meant is that against one's neighbour, All the Israelites were, as all professing Christians are now, joined together in the brotherly covenant. To be even wanting in the love to our neighbour which is enjoined, is a treacherous transgression. Compare Psalms 41:9; Hosea 6:7. "Without cause" (reequ) - literally, 'empty' (Psalms 69:4), 'without provocation.'
