Psalms 103:2 - Exposition

Bless the Lord, O my soul. Repetition, in Holy Scripture, is almost always for the sake of emphasis. It is not " vain repetition." Our Lord often uses it: "Verily, verily, I say unto you;" "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? …. Feed my sheep … Feed my sheep." And forget not all his benefits (comp. Deuteronomy 6:12 ; Deuteronomy 8:11 , Deuteronomy 8:14 , etc.). Man is so apt to "forget," that he requires continual exhortation not to do so.
