The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 100:5

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

For the Lord is good. His mercy is everlasting; literally, his mercy is forever. Compare the frequent refrain, "His mercy endureth forever" (Psalms 118:1-4, Psalms 118:29; Psalms 136:1-26, etc.). And his truth (or, his faithfulness) endureth to all generations; literally, to generation and generation. All men's hope is in God's "faithfulness," that he will keep his promises to them—pardon them, deliver them, cleanse them, and give them rest in his kingdom forever.
