John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

My covenant will I not break,.... Not the covenant at Sinai, as Aben Ezra, but the covenant of grace made with Christ, and which stands fast with him, , which is firm, sure, and stable, and as immovable as mountains and hills, and more so, 2Sa 23:5 or "profane" it, though his people profane his statutes, , he will not profane his covenant; though they violate his laws, he is a God keeping covenant with them, and will not break his word with them:nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips; any promise of his, respecting either the temporal, spiritual, or eternal welfare of his people: or "not change" ; as he changes not in his nature and perfections, nor in his love and affections, nor in his counsels and purposes; so neither in his covenant and promises, they are always the same, and have a certain and unchangeable accomplishment; there is a performance of whatsoever is spoken by the Lord, Lu 1:45.

llxa al "non prophanabo", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus, Tigurine version, &c.
