Psalms 145:8-9

These verses are a classic expression of praise for God’s character. David moved from considering the greatness of God’s acts to reflecting on His motivating attitudes.The same statement in Hebrew occurs in six other places in the Old Testament (Exodus 34:6; Nehemiah 9:17; Psalms 86:15; Psalms 103:8; Joel 2:13; Jonah 4:2). God’s grace is His favor and divine enablement that He gives to those who do not deserve it. His mercy is the forbearance He demonstrates to those who deserve His wrath. He is patient with those who arouse His anger with their sinning. His loyal love is amazingly strong and long-lasting. He is good to everyone, even sending rain and many other blessings on the unjust as well as the just.
