[Endureth for ever.]
Either first, the comfort of his Righteousness endureth. He hath sweet peace and satisfaction in his own mind. Or, Secondly, the Honour of it endureth. According to the Hebrew phrase, [Greek or Hebrew] the memorial of his goodness stands as a Monument of Fame not to be forgotten. Or, Thirdly, the Reward of his Righteousness endureth. He reaps the fruit of his Charity for ever. So R. Kimchi. and others interpret it.
