The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 145:9

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

The Lord is good to all; and his tender mercies are over all his works. "The Lord is good to all;" he "maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and send-eth rain on the just and on the unjust" (Matthew 5:45).

He "wouldeth not the death of a sinner, but rather that he may turn from his wickedness and live," And his "tender mercies," or "compassions," are not only over his human creatures, but" over all his works"—all that he has made—animals as well as men, "creeping things," zoophytes, all that can feel.
