| Psalms 116:2 | For his mercy is confirmed upon us: *and the truth of the Lord remaineth for ever. John 12:34. | Remaineth is not in Hebrew. Mercy and truth confirm us. (Haydock) --- The psalmist acknowledges that he also stands in need of them, and St. John assures us, that grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. [John 1:17.] (Berthier) --- No promise had been made to the Gentiles (Worthington) by the law; though they were all included in the original promise, Genesis 3:15. (Haydock) --- God hath withdrawn them from idolatry, to impart to them his mercies. (Calmet) |
