Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 69:27

27 Add iniquity to their iniquity : and let them not come into thy righteousness .

Give them up to their own vain Minds and vile Lusts, and to a Reprobate Sence, and take off all the Restraints of thy Grace and Providence, and expose them to the Temptations of the World, and of the Devil, that so they may grow worse and worse, and at last may fill up the Measure of their sins; as is said, Mat. 23. 32. Compare, Rom. 1. 28, 29. Or, Add Punishment to their Punishment; as this Word is oft taken: Send one Judgment upon them after another, without ceasing.

Let them never partake of thy Righteousness, (i. e.) Either, 1. Of thy Faithfulness, in making good thy Promises to them. Or, 2. Of thy Mercy and Goodness. Or rather, 3. Of thy Righteousness; Properly so called, of that everlasting Righteousness, which the Messiah shall bring into the World, Dan. 9. 24. which is called the Righteousness of God, Rom. 1: 17. Phil. 3. 9. &c. Which is said to be witnessed by the Law, and the Prophets, Rom. 3. 21. by, and for, which God doth justifie, or Pardon sinners, and accept them in Christ as Righteous Persons. For this was the Righteousness, which the Iews Rejected to their own Ruin, Rom. 10. 3. according to this Prediction. Thus as the first Branch of the Verse maketh, or supposeth them Guilty of many Sins, so this excludes them from the onely Remedy, the Remission of their sins. And that justifying, rather then sanctifying Righteousness is here meant, seems most Probable from the Phrase, which seems to be a judicial Phrase, as we Read of Coming, or Entring into Iudgment, Iob 22. 4. and 34. 23. and into Condemnation, Iob. 5. 24. opposite unto which is this Phrase, of Coming into Iustification; Or, which is one, into thy Righteousness.
