Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 4. - But there is forgiveness with thee (comp. Exodus 34:7; 1 Kings 8:30, 34, 36, 39. etc.; Psalm 25:13; Psalm 32:1, etc.; Daniel 9:9; 1 John 1:9, etc.). That thou mayest be feared. Milton makes his Satan say, "Then farewell hope, and, with hope, farewell fear!" ('Paradise Lost,' canto 1.). And certainly the true fear of God, which Scripture requires in us - a reverential, loving fear - could not exist, unless we had a confident hope in God's mercy and willingness to forgive us our trespasses, if we turn to him.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(4) But.--Rather, for, marking an ellipse easily supplied. Israel's sense of Jehovah's readiness to forgive was too deep to need expression, it was understood; "Thou wilt not mark, &c, for . . ."Forgiveness.--The article in the original may be more than that common with abstract nouns. "The forgiveness we need."That thou mayest be feared.--Either that the forgiven ones may become more profoundly religious, or perhaps, rather, that the manifestation of Divine mercy to Israel may strike fear in the heathen.
