Verse 7
Let Israel hope in the Lord - This, to hope for salvation, is their duty and their interest. But what reason is there for this hope? A twofold reason: -
1. With the Lord there is mercy - החסד hachesed , That mercy, the fund, the essence of mercy.
2. And with him is plenteous redemption - פדות עמו והרבה veharabbah immo peduth ; and that abundant redemption, that to which there is none like, the Fountain of redemption, the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world. The article ה , both in הרבה harabbah and החסד hachesed , is very emphatic.
