Salmi 105:8 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 105:8

He hath remembered his covenant for ever
Another argument of praise taken from the covenant of grace, in which he is our God, and of which he is ever mindful; he remembers his covenant ones, whom he perfectly knows, and never forgets them; he remembers his covenant promises to them, and allows them to put him in remembrance of them; he has respect unto his covenant, and the blessings of it, and bestows them on his people; gives them the sure mercies of David; and he remembers his love, which is the source and spring of all.

The word which he commanded to a thousand generations;
that which is properly a covenant with Christ our head on our account, is a word of promise to us; a promise of grace and glory; a free promise, absolute and unconditional: and this he has "commanded", or ordered, decreed, and determined that it shall stand good, and be punctually performed, "to a thousand generations"; that is, for ever; for all his promises are yea and amen in Christ.

Salmi 105:8 In-Context

6 o voi, progenie d’Abrahamo, suo servitore, figliuoli di Giacobbe, suoi eletti!

7 Egli, l’Eterno, è l’Iddio nostro; i suoi giudizi s’esercitano su tutta la terra.

8 Egli si ricorda in perpetuo del suo patto, della parola da lui data per mille generazioni,

9 del patto che fece con Abrahamo, del giuramento che fece ad Isacco,

10 e che confermò a Giacobbe come uno statuto, ad Israele come un patto eterno,
