Psalms 106:45

Psa 106:45 And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.

Ver. 45. And he remembered for them his covenant ] Which could not be vacated or abolished by the wickedness of men, but stood firm and inviolable, inasmuch as God is faithful and merciful.

And repented ] That is, changed his severity into clemency. God’s repentance is not a change of his will, but of his work, Mutatio rei, non Dei.
