Psalm 31:16

For his words to Moses are-'I will take pity on whom I take pity, and be merciful to whom I am merciful.'

So as to make known his surpassing glory in dealing with the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared beforehand for glory,

And so to enhance that glorious manifestation of his loving- kindness which he gave us in The Beloved;

Yet God, in his abundant compassion, and because of the great love with which he loved us,
