Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
David reached the throne not by his own wit or men's favor, but appointed by God Himself. He had faced mortal dangers a hundred times over; God alone delivered him. This temporal kingdom figures the eternal spiritual kingdom of Christ, in whom David's person is fulfilled.

Commenting on Psalm 118:1-29
Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. The sons of Aaron were specially set apart to come nearest to God, and it was only because of his mercy that they were enabled to live in the presence of the thrice holy Jehovah, who is a consuming fire.
David's heart overflowed with God's goodness and he burned to see others taste it too. The more we feel God's mercy, the more our hearts enlarge for obedience. Israel, Aaron's house, all who fear Him must join in one song: His mercy endures forever.
