Commentary
Commentary on Psalms 145:8
Theological / DevotionalGracious. Compare Ex. 34:6. As God revealed Himself to Moses and to David, so He reveals Himself to us today, as a God who is full of tender mercy and graciousness. He regards all with the tenderest sympathy, especially those passing through the valley of affliction.
Slow to anger. God has long patience with perverse sinners. His great desire is that they should repent and turn to Him (see Eze. 33:11). He suffers long and continues to plead with men to repent of their sinful ways. It pains His heart to give up any child of Adam. Through the prophet Hosea He asks the pathetic question: “How shall I give thee up, Ephraim?” (Hosea 11:8).
