The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, His mercy being revealed in and through Jesus Christ, the Messiah of the world; slow to anger and of great mercy, His mercy serving, as it were, as a check upon His anger, keeping it from breaking forth upon us. That is the most wonderful fact in the Bible, that God is great in mercy, full of love and kindness toward us in and through Jesus Christ, our Savior. This Gospel-message is brought out still more strongly in the second part of the psalm.
