My covenant will I not break, etc.] Not the covenant at Sinai, as Aben Ezra, but the covenant of grace made with Christ, and which stands fast with him, (<198903>Psalm 89:3,28), which is firm, sure, and stable, and as immovable as mountains and hills, and more so, (<102305>2 Samuel 23:5 <235410> Isaiah 54:10) or “profane” f1282 it, though his people profane his statutes, (<198931>Psalm 89:31), he will not profane his covenant; though they violate his laws, he is a God keeping covenant with them, and will not break his word with them: nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips; any promise of his, respecting either the temporal, spiritual, or eternal welfare of his people: or “not change” f1283; as he changes not in his nature and perfections, nor in his love and affections, nor in his counsels and purposes; so neither in his covenant and promises, they are always the same, and have a certain and unchangeable accomplishment; there is a performance of whatsoever is spoken by the Lord, (<420145>Luke 1:45).
