Psalms 145:9

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

The Lord [is] good to all,.... Which is to be understood not of the general and providential goodness of God to all men, to all his creatures, and the works of his hands; but of the special goodness of Christ before mentioned, ; which extends to all the chosen people of God; who are all loved by Christ, redeemed by him, justified and glorified by him; and to Gentiles as well as Jews; for whom he tasted death, laid down his life a ransom for them, and became the propitiation for their sins.

Hence his Gospel has been sent to both; and some of each have been effectually called by his grace, and more will.
