Contextual Overview

21Yet I call this to mind, and therefore I have hope: 22Because of the LORD's loving devotion we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. 23They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness!24"The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "therefore I will hope in Him." 25The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him. 26It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD. 27It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is still young. 28Let him sit alone in silence, for God has disciplined him. 29Let him bury his face in the dust-perhaps there is still hope. 30Let him offer his cheek to the one who would strike him; let him be filled with reproach.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

[They are] new every morning,.... That is, the tender mercies or compassions of God are, which prove that they fail not; there are instances of them every day, not only in a temporal, but in a spiritual sense; they are ever new, always fresh and vigorous, constant and perpetual; such are the love, grace, and mercy of God, though of old, yet daily renewed in the manifestations thereof; and which make a morning of spiritual light, joy, and comfort; and whenever it is morning with the saints, they have new discoveries of the love of God to them; and these indeed are a bright morning to them, a morning without clouds;

great [is] thy faithfulness; some render it "thy faith concerning thee" y; this is a great grace, it is the gift of God, the operation of his Spirit, and to exercise it is a great thing; to this purpose is Jarchi's note,

"great is thy promise, and a great thing it is to believe in thee, that it shall be performed, and that thou wilt observe or keep what thou hast promised to us;''

but the attribute of God's faithfulness is rather meant; which is another reason why the people of God are not consumed, since that never fails; God is faithful to himself, and cannot deny himself; he is faithful to his counsels and purposes, which shall be truly accomplished; and to his covenant and promises, which shall be fulfilled; and to his Son, the surety and Saviour of his people.

y אמונתך "fides tua", V. L. Montanus, Junius Tremellius, Piscator "fides quae est de te", Pagninus.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 23. They are new every morning — Day and night proclaim the mercy and compassion of God. Who could exist throughout the day, if there were not a continual superintending Providence? Who could be preserved in the night, if the Watchman of Israel ever slumbered or slept?
