Psalms 111:4

4 The Lord does not let us forget his wonderful actions; he is kind and merciful.

Psalms 111:4 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 111:4

He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered
All his works are marvellous ones; his works of creation, that they should rise out of nothing at a word of command; his works of providence, which have such a depth of wisdom and knowledge in them, are unsearchable and past finding out; and his works of redemption and grace; and these are so wrought by him, and such methods taken to continue the memory of them, that they cannot well be forgotten: all things in nature are as they were from the beginning; the sun, moon, and stars, keep their course and station; cold and heat, summer and winter, seedtime and harvest, are as they always were; remarkable providences have been carefully recorded, and memorials of them handed down to posterity. The deliverance of Israel out of Egypt was annually remembered in the passover; the feeding of them with manna in the wilderness was caused to be remembered by a pot of manna preserved in the tabernacle and temple; and the great work of our redemption by Christ is brought to remembrance in the ordinance of the Lord's supper, appointed for that purpose.

The Lord is gracious and full of compassion;
so he was in eternity, and is in time; this appears in all his works, and especially in our salvation by Jesus Christ; see ( Psalms 86:5 Psalms 86:15 ) .
