We can learn some things about the mercy of the Lord from this same Psalm:
v. 4.—Its quality, “tender.”
v. 8.—Its measure, “plenteous.”
v. 11.—Its magnitude, “great,” “according to the height of the heaven above the earth.” See margin.
v. 17.—Its duration, “from everlasting to everlasting.”
Twenty-third Psalm. I suppose I have heard as many good sermons on the twenty-third Psalm as on any other six verses in the Bible. I wish I had begun to take notes upon them years ago when I heard the first one. Things slip away from you when you get to be fifty years of age. Young men had better go into training at once.
With me, the Lord.
Beneath me, green pastures.
Beside me, still waters.
Before me, a table.
