Pursued by Goodness & Mercy
Commentators highlight the word "Surely" to emphasize the believer's absolute confidence. God's "goodness" (His provision for our needs) and "mercy" (His pardon for our sins) are not passive but actively "follow" us. Charles Spurgeon vividly pictures them as two personal bodyguards, ensuring we are cared for and forgiven throughout our entire lives.
