Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth [his] promise fail for evermore?
Ver. 8. Is his mercy clean gone for ever?] They that go down into the pit (of despair) cannot hope for God's truth, Isaiah 38:18, but so doth not any saint in his deepest desertions.
Doth his promise fail for evermore?] Hath he retracted his promises, recalled his oracles confirmed with oath, seal? No, he will not suffer his faithfulness to fail, nor alter the thing that is gone out of his mouth, Psalms 89:33 .
