the mother of children, rejoicing.
4. “Rejoice, O barren one, who have not given birth: break forth [in song] and cry out, you who did not labor in childbirth: for many are the children of the desolate, more than she who has a husband” (Is 54:1). And the soul that became forsaken through being abandoned by God is the mother of effective activity.

v.3. For those who work lawlessness
have not walked in His ways
2. If those who work lawlessness are not those who walk in the ways of God, it follows that those who work justice are those who will walk in the ways of the Lord. Therefore the ways of the Lord are the contemplations of what has come into being, ‘in which we shall walk, accomplishing justice’. (cf.Ps 14:2) But if our justice is the Christ ‘for he has become our wisdom from God, our justice and sanctification and redemption’, (1Cor 1:30) Solomon says well in Proverbs that wisdom is the ‘beginning of the ways’ (Prov. 8:22) of the Lord - [for] this [wisdom] is the Christ. And I call ‘Christ’ the Lord who, with God the Word, has come among [us].

6. Then I will not be ashamed, when I look attentively at all your commandments.
4. If one who performs all the commandments “but stumbles in one [of them] becomes guilty of all “(Ja 11:10), then it is well-written, Then I will not be ashamed, when I look attentively at all your commandments. For one disregarded commandment can result in shame for us.
