Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. Let Israel hope in the Lord - This, to hope for salvation, is their duty and their interest. But what reason is there for this hope? A twofold reason: -
1. With the Lord there is mercy - החסד hachesed, That mercy, the fund, the essence of mercy.
2. And with him is plenteous redemption - והרבה עמו פדות veharabbah immo peduth; and that abundant redemption, that to which there is none like, the Fountain of redemption, the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world. The article ה, both in הרבה harabbah and החסד hachesed, is very emphatic.
