Psalms 103:17

Psalms 103:17. But-

This is a blessed "but" -

Psalms 103:17. The mercy of the LORD -

That is not a fading flower, that is not a withering wind: "But the mercy of the Lord"-

Psalms 103:17. Is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children.

Here are innumerable mercies all enclosed in the one mercy of the Lord; everlasting mercy, covenant mercy. If we do not praise God whenever we think of the covenant of grace, what are we at? We must be possessed by a dumb devil if we do not praise him whose mercy "is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him."
