“For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.”
King James Version (KJV)
3:1 My law - The law of God, which might be called his law, as the gospel is called Paul's gospel, #2Tim 2:8|, because delivered by him.
3:3 Mercy - Mercy denotes all benignity, charity, and readiness to do good to others: truth or faithfulness respects all those duties which we owe to God or man, which we have special obligation from the rules of justice. Bind them - Like a chain, wherewith persons adorn their necks. Table - In thy mind and heart, in which all God's commands are to be received and engraven.
3:4 Understanding - Whereby to know thy duty, and to discern between good and evil. Of God - Grace or favour with God, and that understanding which is good in God's sight.
