Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

My mercy shall not depart ... - Hence, Isaiah’s saying, the sure mercies of David Isa 55:3, i. e. unfailing, lasting mercies: mercies which are like streams of water that never dry up Isa 33:16; Jer 15:18. This is explained in 2Sa 7:16, where the word established is the same word as is rendered sure in Isaiah.

Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament (1765)

My mercy - That is, Or, my kindness, that is, the kingdom which I have mercifully promised to thee and thine. From Saul - In regard of his posterity, for the kingdom was continued to his person during life.

Matthew Henry

1662–1714

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

This is that covenant of royalty celebrated ( Ps. lxxxix. 3 , &c.) as typical of the covenant of redemption and grace. Others of them relate to Christ, who is often called David and the Son of David, that Son of David to whom these promises pointed and in whom they had their full accomplishment.
