5. For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive. Good at giving and forgiving; supplying us with his good, and
removing our evil. Some men who would be considered good are so
self-exaltingly indignant at the injuries done them by others that they cannot
forgive; but the better a being is, the more willing he is to forgive, and the
best and highest of all is ever ready to blot out the transgressions of his
creatures. And plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. God
does not dispense his mercy from a store so impoverished as to give out
altogether, but his goodness flows abundantly. In two places in this psalm
David almost quotes word for word the passage in Exodus 34:6.
