Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
Thy tender mercies - Hebrew, 'thy bowels' (Colossians 3:12).
And thy loving-kindnesses. God cannot renounce His own essential loving-kindness (especially to His trusting children, such as the Psalmist). His character is not a newly acquired one, but has existed 'from eternity' (Psalms 103:17). David pleads. Thou canst not now for the first time cease to be what thou hast always been.
