In the Hebrew context, "remember" often implies action based on a prior commitment. The psalmist is invoking God's faithfulness, as seen in His dealings with Israel throughout history. This reflects the covenant relationship established with figures like Abraham (<a href="/genesis/12.htm">Genesis 12:1-3</a>) and Moses (<a href="/exodus/6-7.htm">Exodus 6:7</a>), where God promised to be their God and they His people.<p><b>Your compassion and loving devotion</b><br>The terms "compassion" and "loving devotion" are central to understanding God's character. "Compassion" (Hebrew: "rachamim") suggests a deep, tender mercy, akin to a parent's love for a child. "Loving devotion" (Hebrew: "chesed") is a steadfast, covenantal love that is loyal and enduring. These attributes are frequently highlighted in the Old Testament, such as in <a href="/exodus/34-6.htm">Exodus 34:6-7</a>, where God describes Himself as "abounding in love and faithfulness." This steadfast love is a type of Christ, who embodies God's compassion and loving devotion through His sacrificial death and resurrection.<p><b>for they are from age to age</b><br>This phrase emphasizes the eternal nature of God's attributes. His compassion and loving devotion are not temporary or fleeting but have been evident throughout all generations. This is consistent with the biblical narrative, where God's faithfulness is demonstrated from creation (Genesis 1) through the patriarchs, the exodus, the monarchy, and the prophets. It points to the unchanging nature of God, as affirmed in <a href="/malachi/3-6.htm">Malachi 3:6</a>, "For I the LORD do not change." This eternal aspect is fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever (<a href="/hebrews/13-8.htm">Hebrews 13:8</a>), ensuring that God's compassion and loving devotion continue into the New Covenant.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/25.htm">Psalm 25</a>, King David, is expressing his reliance on God's mercy and steadfast love.
