Psalms 103:0 God’s great loveRealizing how easily people forget God, David reminds himself of the many blessings, physical and spiritual, that God has given him.

THE EXHORTATION FOR ISRAEL"Jehovah executeth righteous acts,And judgment for all that are oppressed.He made known his ways unto Moses,His doings unto the children of Israel.Jehovah is merciful and gracious,Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness.He will not always chide,Neither will he keep his anger forever.He hath not dealt with us after our sins,Nor rewarded us after our iniquities.For as the heavens are high above the earth,So great is his lovingkindness toward them that fear him.As... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 103:1-22

In this Ps. the hope of the previous one has been fulfilled, and sorrow has given place to thanksgiving. Its probable date is soon after the return from exile. The Psalmist utters his personal gratitude and praise (Psalms 103:1-5), and tells how God has shown to Israel in his own day the same power and grace which He showed in the days of Moses (Psalms 103:6-12). Special emphasis is laid on God’s fatherly pity for His people in their frailty, and on the eternity of His mercy as shown to... read more
