“He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.”
He remembers his covenant forever, the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations. God's memory parallels and undergirds the community's memory mandated in verse 5, establishing that remembrance is rooted in God's own faithful character. The covenant is eternal ('forever') and binding ('commanded'), extending across 'a thousand generations' in hyperbolic language stressing perpetuity beyond human reckoning. This verse guarantees that God's commitment transcends historical contingency and generational change, providing ultimate confidence in covenantal promises.
