Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he [is] God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
Ver. 9. The faithful God.] The God of Amen. Psa 31:6 "The Amen, the faithful and true witness," Rev 3:14 that "will not suffer his faithfulness to fail, nor alter the thing that is gone out of his lips," Psa 89:33 all his precepts, predictions, promises, menaces, being the issue of a most faithful and righteous will, void of the least insincerity or falsehood. "Thou spakest also with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thy hand, as it is this day," saith Solomon in his prayer. 1Ki 8:24 Neither could ever any day or age produce one instance to the contrary. The promises are ancient, Tit 1:1-2 and yet they never failed; nor the menaces. Zep 3:5
