For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.
Ver. 10. For the mountains shall depart.] See Mat 24:35 Psalms 46:2. See Trapp on " Mat 24:35 " See Trapp on " Psa 46:2 "
But my kindness shall not depart from thee.] This sweet promise comforted Olevian at the point of death. Although sight, hearing, speech depart from me, said he, yet God's lovingkindness shall never depart. This was somewhat like that of David in Psalms 73:26, "My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever."
Neither shall the covenant of my peace.] God is in a league with his people, offensive and defensive, such as was that of Jehoshaphat with Ahab, and this covenant is a hive of heavenly honey.
