2. The Lord Jesus having thus taken ou• Sins upon himself, next pleads his own Goodness to God, on our Behalf: Saying, Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord God of Hosts, be ashamed for my Sake: Let not those that seek thee, be confounded for my Sake, O God of Israel. Because for thy Sake I have born Reproach: Shame hath covered my Face, Psal. 69.6, 7, Mark, let them not be ashamed for my Sake, let them not be confounded for my Sake. Shame and Confusion, are the Fruits of Guilt, or of a Charge for Sin, Jer. 3.25. and are but an entrance into Condemnation, Dan. 12.2. Joh. 5.29. But behold, how Christ pleads, saying, Let not that be, for my Sake, for the Merit of my Blood, for the Perfection of my Righteousness, for the Prevalency of my Intercession, Let them not be ashamed for my Sake, O Lord God of Hosts. And let no Man object, because this Text is in the Psalms, as if it were not spoke by the Prophet, of Christ; for, both John and Paul, yea, and Christ himself, do make this Psalm a Prophecy of him: Compare ver. 9. with Joh. 2.17. and ver. 9, with Rom. 15.3. And ver. 21. with Matth. 27.48. and Mat. 15.25.
