11. Here is the lover of godliness entering his personal protest against
unrighteous gain. Trusting in God, the psalmist resolves that the plain way of
righteousness will be his choice, and those who want to may prefer the tortuous
paths of violence and deceit. He is no self-righteous vaunter of his own
strength, for he cries for redemption and pleads for mercy. Our integrity is
not absolute or inherent; it is a work of grace in us, and is marred by human
infirmity; we must, therefore, resort to the redeeming blood and to the throne
of mercy, confessing that though we are saints among mankind, we must still bow
as sinners before God.
