Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Here we have, (1.) The psalmist's faith and hope: "Things now look black, and threaten the utter extirpation of the house of David; but I have said, and I have warrant from the word of God to say it, that mercy shall be built up for ever. " As the goodness of God's nature is to be the matter of our song (

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

), owning, to the comfort of his people, " I have made a covenant, and therefore will make it good." The covenant is made with David; the covenant of royalty is made with him, as the father of his family, and with his seed through him and for his sake, representing the covenant of grace made with Christ as head of the church and with all believers as his spiritual seed.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

5 ), and very great and precious promises they are which are here made to the Redeemer, which are strong foundations for the faith and hope of the redeemed to build upon. The comforts of our redemption flow from the covenant of redemption; all our springs are in that, Isa. lv.
