Psalms 23:6 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Goodness and mercy, i.e. God's favour, and the blessed and comfortable effects and benefits of it. Shall follow me; by which emphatical expression he signifies God's admirable freeness and readiness to do good to his people, and his preventing them with blessings. All the days of my life; which he justly concludes from the former instances of God's favour to him because of the unchangeableness of God's nature, and the stability of his covenant and promises. Whereas I have formerly been driven from God's house, I rest assured that I shall now constantly enjoy that blessed privilege of serving and enjoying God in his sanctuary, which I prize more than all my dominions

Psalms 23:6

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.c
