Psalm 22:6 — your mercy will pursue me; living mercy is Christ
“And your mercy will pursue me all the days of my life, and my dwelling in the house of the Lord unto length of days” (Psalm 22:6).
Who is the mercy that pursues? I learned Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God from the apostle, and that he was born for us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption. He himself says: “I am the way and life and truth” (John 14:6). Learn that he himself is also the mercy that pursues; living mercy pursues you.
Those who flee less it overtakes and holds, and leads them into the church, that he may have mercy and they may dwell in the house of the Lord, unto length of days, and into the holy church in the heavens, and become long-lived.

22.6 Καὶ τὸ ε λεός σου καταδιώξεταί με πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ζωῆς μου, καὶ τὸ κατοικεῖν με ἐν οι κῳ Κυρίου εἰς μακρότητα ἡμερῶν. Τίς ἐστιν ὁ καταδιώκων ε λεος; Χριστὸν Θεοῦ δύναμιν ε μαθον καὶ Θεοῦ σοφίαν ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀποστόλου, καὶ ο τι ἐγεννήθη ἡμῖν σοφία ἀπὸ Θεοῦ, δικαιοσύνη τε καὶ ἁγιασμὸς καὶ ἀπολύτρωσις. Αὐτὸς λέγει· ̓Εγώ εἰμι ἡ ὁδὸς καὶ ζωὴ καὶ ἀλήθεια. Μάθετε ο τι αὐτός ἐστιν καὶ ὁ ε λεος ὁ διώκων· ε μψυχος ε λεος σε διώκει. Τοὺς ε λαττον φεύγοντας κατα λαμβάνει καὶ κρατεῖ, καὶ εἰς τὴν ἐκκλησίαν αὐτοὺς α γει, ι να ἐλεήσῃ καὶ οἰκήσωσιν εἰς τὸν οι κον Κυρίου, εἰς μακρότητα ἡμερῶν, καὶ εἰς τὴν ἐν οὐρανοῖς ἁγίαν ἐκκλησίαν, καὶ μακρήμεροι γένωνται.
