Psalms 103:17-18

Psalms 103:17-18. But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children. To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

Mercy for ourselves: mercy for our children. What a blessing this is-that our father’s friend is our friend, and is the friend of our children, too! As David loved Mephibosheth for Jonathan’s sake, so doth God still look upon the children of his children, and keeps his covenant to them.
