But Yahweh’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children’s children;
How blessed the contrast, our frailty linked with God's eternity, making us everlasting too. His mercy was fixed on us from old eternity in election, and it shall never end, never be exhausted, world without end. The question cuts to the heart: do we fear Him? If we lift the eye of filial fear to heaven, His gaze of paternal love rests on us and never departs.
AI summary
God executes righteousness not only for His people but for all the oppressed; He is the patron of wronged innocency everywhere. It is His honour to humble the proud and help the helpless. Divine revelation is the first and greatest favour the church receives, for by knowing God we are restored to Him and given all good.

Commenting on Psalm 103:6-18
The Lord Christ sits now on His throne in heaven with His Father, and that throne stands immovable while all others fall. His kingdom rules over all, angels obey Him, devils tremble before Him, saints own Him as King, the wicked He governs with a rod of iron, and earthly kings themselves reign only by His authority and answer to Him.
