Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 62:12

12 Also unto thee O LORD, belongeth mercy; for thou rendrest to every man according to his work .

Or, therefore. For the following Words seem to be either a Reason, or Proof of, or an inference from, the two foregoing Properties of God, Power and Mercy. God is Almighty, therefore he can easily subdue and destroy all his and mine ungodly Enemies, and Recompence unto them all their Malicious and wicked Practises. He is also mild and merciful, and therefore will pardon good Mens failings, and graciously reward me and others, of his People according to our Integrity.

According to the Nature and quality, though not according to the Proportion, of their Works, whether they be good or bad. And this as he is obliged to do by his holy Nature, and by that Respect which he oweth to his own Glory, so he is able to do it, being Omnipotent, and willing to do it to the godly (which was the onely thing that might be doubted, because of their manifold and great Corruptions, and Imperfections, and Miscarriages) because he is merciful and gracious.

a Or, Benignity, or Readiness to do good. Thou art no less willing than able, to defend and preserve all that put their Trust in thee.
