This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
But this is my comfort, although we die and our hopes vanish, yet our God is everlasting and unchangeable, and therefore invincible by all his and our enemies, constant in his counsels and purposes of mercy to his church, stedfast and faithful in the performance of all his promises; and therefore he both can and will deliver his people.
Thy remembrance; either,
1. The fame and memory of thy wonderful works. Or rather,
2. Thy name, Jehovah, mentioned in the former clause, which is called by this very word, God’s
remembrance or memorial, and that unto all generations, Exo_3:15. Thus this clause exactly answers to the former; and both of them describe the eternity of God’s existence, whereby the psalmist relieves and supports himself under the consideration of his own and his people’s frailty and vanity.
