Psalms 103:13 - Exposition

Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him (comp. Deuteronomy 32:6 ; Job 10:8 ; Isaiah 29:16 ; Isaiah 63:16 ; Isaiah 64:8 , etc.). (For the nature of the "fear" spoken of, both here and in Psalms 103:11 , see the description in Psalms 103:17 , Psalms 103:18 .) It must be a fear that produces obedience, or, in New Testament phrase, that is a "godly fear" ( Hebrews 12:28 ).
