“How Merciful Is Our God Unto Us”

Brant Gardner

Jacob's praising now highlights the longsuffering of the Lord towards the house of God. Notice that this is very personal for Jacob. He specifically notes "how merciful is our God unto us." Jacob, as did Nephi in his writings, very clearly considers their people part of the house of Israel, one of the branches separated off - or as Nephi saw them, on the isles of the sea.
