for mine own sake God's mercy and love to Israel were manifested that in them He might have witness to all the world. Hence the Psalmist often celebrates these qualities, and adds that they were shewn by Jehovah -for His name's sake". Cf. Psalms 106:8, -He saved them for His name's sake, that He might make His mighty power to be known". So God speaks (Isaiah 43:25) by the prophet: -I am He that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake". See also Isaiah 48:11.
