Pardoned and Instructed for the Honor of God's Name

We don't just need instruction in righteousness; we need to be made righteous; and, we need to be forgiven for it even to be right for us to be instructed in righteousness, or for it to be right for us to be made righteous. The LORD'S Name is at stake in vindicating those who wait upon Him, v1–3. We need to be taught and led, v4–5. Therefore, we need to be forgiven, v6–7. Hope in the LORD is well-placed, for He exalts Himself by pardoning sinners, v8–11.
