Behold, the Lord God will help me
This is repeated from Isa 50:7, (See Gill on Isaiah
50:7); to show the certainty of it, the strength of his
faith in it, and to discourage his enemies: who is he that
shall condemn me?
make me out a wicked person F3, prove me guilty, and pass
sentence upon me, when thus acquitted and justified by the Lord
God? The Apostle Paul seems to have some reference to this
passage in ( Romans 8:33 Romans 8:34 ) ,
lo, they all shall waste old as doth a garment;
his enemies, those that accused him, the Scribes, Pharisees, and
chief priests; and those that condemned him, the Jewish
sanhedrim, and the Roman governor: the moth shall eat them
up;
they shall be like a worn out or motheaten garment, that can
never be used more. The phrases denote how secret, insensible,
and irrecoverable, their ruin should be, both in their civil and
church state, all being abolished and done away.
