To such as keep his covenant, And to those that remember his precepts to do them.
The covenant is not a license to sin, and mercy is no panderer to vice. Parents and children both must obey; those who cling to Christ's finished work and keep His commandments, all of them, not picking and choosing by convenience, these are the ones whom His mercy will enrich from generation to generation.
AI summary
Man withers like grass, a breath of wind can snatch his life, and his place knows him no more. But there is one eternal power that lifts those who fear God above nature's ruin: His mercy spans over all who keep His covenant and remember His precepts, blessing them and their children into infinity.

Commenting on Psalm 103:15-18
David teaches every godly person to thank God first for mercies granted to himself, then for the grace He has given to all His chosen ones through covenant. The Psalmist chiefly magnifies God's mercy in bearing with His people, not because they deserve it, but because He takes pity on their weakness.
