It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
х It is of the Lord's mercies ... we are not consumed] - (Malachi 3:6, "I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed").
Verse 23. They are new every morning - (Isaiah 33:2, "O Lord, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning").
Verse 24. The Lord is my portion, saith my soul. So, instead of an inheritance in land, the Lord gave Himself to the priests - "I am thy part, and thine inheritance" (Numbers 18:20). Every believer is now a priest unto God, and therefore can appropriate the same language (Psalms 16:5; Psalms 73:20; Psalms 119:57; Jeremiah 10:16). Therefore will I hope in Him. To have God for our portion is the one only foundation of hope. Therefore will I hope in Him. To have God for our portion is the one only foundation of hope. [Teth (T)]
