Psalms 25:3. Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
When good men are in earnest on their own account, they soon begin to pray for others; and the evil which they dread for themselves, they are sure to dread for their brethren. David first prayed, "Let me not be ashamed;" and then he added, "Let none that wait on thee be ashamed." The only shame that is worth having is a blessed shame,- the shame of true repentance, which sorrows over past sin, of which it is ashamed. Alas!
there will be an eternal shame, which shall cover those who choose the ways of sin.
