15. This mercy to the aged proves the faithfulness of their God, and leads
them to show that the Lord is upright, by their cheerful testimony to his ceaseless goodness. We do not
serve a Master who will run back from his promise. Every aged Christian is a letter
of commendation to the immutable fidelity of Jehovah. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. Here is the psalmist’s own seal and
sign manual: still was he building upon his God, and still was the Lord a firm
foundation for his trust. He has tried us, but he has never allowed us to be
tempted above what we are able to bear; he has delayed our reward, but he has
never been unrighteous to forget our work of faith and labor of love. He is a
friend without fault, a helper without fail. Whatever he may do with us, he is
always in the right.
