What Does Psalms 111:4 Mean?
God intentionally makes His works memorable—He ensures they endure in human memory and are passed down through generations. This is not incidental; He 'hath made' them to be remembered, suggesting divine purpose in how we remember and transmit knowledge of His acts. The memorial is evidence of His care for His people's understanding.
His graciousness and compassion are the inner motives behind these memorable deeds. Grace means unmerited favor; compassion means He is moved by the suffering and need of those He loves.
