For the Lord is good
Both in a providential way, and in a way of grace, and does good;
he is the good Shepherd, that has laid down his life for the
sheep; and the good Samaritan, that pours in the wine and oil of
his love and grace, and his precious blood, to the healing of the
wounds made by sin: while he was on earth, he went about doing
good to the bodies and souls of men; and he continues to do good
unto them, and therefore should be praised, served, and
worshipped:
his mercy is everlasting;
or "his grace" F5; there is always a sufficiency of it
for his people; and his lovingkindness, which may be also here
meant, is always the same; having loved his own which were in the
world, he loves them to the end, ( John 13:1 )
and his truth endureth to all generations;
or his faithfulness in fulfilling his promises, and performing
his engagements; he was faithful to his Father that appointed
him, and to the covenant he made with him; and he is faithful to
his people, to keep what they commit to his care and charge now,
and to give them the crown of righteousness at the last day,
which is laid up for them; and upon all these considerations, and
for these reasons, ought to be praised and adored.
