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.
