God's Perfect Memory

Commentators explain that when the psalmist says God "remembered his covenant," it's not because God is forgetful. Rather, it's a powerful assurance for humanity that His promises never expire, even after long periods. As John Calvin notes, God's promises do not become obsolete over time; He will always fulfill them in the proper season, demonstrating His unwavering faithfulness.
