John Trapp on Isaiah 48:9

Ver. 9. For my name ſake will I defer mine anger] Heb. prolong it. Here he ſetteth forth the cauſe of his patience toward ſo perverſe a people, viz. the ſole reſpect to his own glory whereof he is ſo tender, and ſo loth to be a loſer in: Propter me faciam.

And for my praiſe] The praiſe of my might and mercy.

That I cut thee not off] Which I would do, were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, leſt thine adverſaries ſhould behave themſelves ſtrangely, and leſt they ſhould ſay Our hand is high, and the Lord hath not done all this, Deut. 32.27.
