• (vv. 11-12) In the closing verses the psalmist uses a threefold plea. First, he pleads the Name of the Lord; second, the righteousness of the Lord; and third, that he is the servant of the Lord. The Lord cannot be indifferent to the glory of His Name; His righteousness cannot overlook the wickedness of man; His mercy cannot be unmindful of the troubles of His servants. (“Psalms 143” by H. Smith)
• The heart true with God when thoroughly subdued and set right, accepting the punishment of its iniquity instead of excusing itself; can then look to God to take up its cause against the malice, but not till it has set God's glory above itself.
