He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.
This psalm belongs with Psalms 46 to 72 in setting forth man's frailty and weakness and utter need together with God's great strength and love and mercy. The king shall abide before God forever, enthroned as king in His presence. He sits before God forever as a king, at God's right hand.
God's mercy and truth are appointed to surround him and preserve him continually. They keep him as guards keep one entrusted to them, encircling him about for his preservation.
The verse is a blessed memory verse with keeping power in times of trouble.
