And we may be assured we do <span class="ital">forget the</span>m, in the sense here meant by the psalmist, if we do not give sincere and hearty thanks for them. <span class="ital">Who forgiveth all thine iniquities — </span>This is mentioned first, because, by the pardon of sin, that which prevented our receiving good things is taken away, and we are restored to the favour of God, which ensures good things to us, and bestows them upon us. <span class="ital">Who healeth all thy diseases — </span>Spiritual diseases, the diseases of the soul. The corruption of nature is the sickness of the soul: it is its disorder, and threatens its death. This is cured by sanctification. In proportion as sin is mortified, the disease is healed. These two, <span class="ital">pardon </span>and <span class="ital">holiness, </span>go together, at least a degree of the latter always accompanies the former: if God take away the guilt of sin by pardoning mercy, he also breaks the power of it by renewing grace. Where Christ is made <span class="ital">righteousness </span>to any soul, he is also made sanctification to it in a great measure; for, <span class="ital">if any man be in Christ he is a new creature: old things are passed away, behold, all things are become new.</span><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><A name="2"></a> <div class="versenum"><a href="/psalms/103-2.htm">Psalm 103:2</a></div><div class="verse">Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:</div><A name="3"></a> <div class="versenum"><a href="/psalms/103-3.htm">Psalm 103:3</a></div><div class="verse">Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;</div><A name="4"></a> <div class="versenum"><a href="/psalms/103-4.htm">Psalm 103:4</a></div><div class="verse">Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;</div><span class="bld"><a href="/context/psalms/103-4.htm" title="Who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies;...">Psalm 103:4-5</a></span>. <span class="ital">Who redeemeth thy life from destruction — </span>Both temporal and eternal; from deadly dangers and miseries. <span class="ital">Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness — </span>That is, encompasseth and adorneth thee therewith, as with a crown. <span class="ital">Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things — </span>Satisfieth all thy just desires and necessities. <span class="ital">So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s — </span>That is, as some interpret the words, As the eagle appears to renew her youth with her plumage, when she casts off all her old feathers, and gets new ones, whereby she seems to grow young again. But, as this is common to all birds, it is hardly to be supposed that the psalmist would have alluded to it here as if it were peculiar to the eagle. This circumstance, however, is most observable in hawks, vultures, and especially in eagles, which, when they are near a hundred years old, cast their feathers and become bald, like young ones, and then new feathers sprout out. But the psalmist seems chiefly to refer to the long lives of eagles, and their great strength and vigour at a very advanced age. Hence the <span class="ital">old age </span>of an eagle is used proverbially for a lively and vigorous old age.<span class="p"><br /><br /></span><A name="5"></a> <div class="versenum"><a href="/psalms/103-5.htm">Psalm 103:5</a></div><div class="verse">Who satisfieth thy mouth with good <i>things; so that</i> thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.</div><A name="6"></a> <div class="versenum"><a href="/psalms/103-6.htm">Psalm 103:6</a></div><div class="verse">The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.</div><span class="bld"><a href="/context/psalms/103-6.htm" title="The LORD executes righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed....">Psalm 103:6-7</a></span>. <span class="ital">The Lord executeth judgment for all that are oppressed — </span>Which, being a singular perfection, and one wherein most of the princes of the world were and are defective, is justly celebrated in God. <span class="ital">He made known his ways unto Moses — </span>His <span class="ital">laws, </span>often called his <span class="ital">ways; </span>or, the methods of his dealing with men, and especially with his people; his merciful and gracious nature and providence, which is particularly called God’s way, <a href="/exodus/33-13.htm" title="Now therefore, I pray you, if I have found grace in your sight, show me now your way, that I may know you, that I may find grace in your sight: and consider that this nation is your people.">Exodus 33:13</a>, compared with <a href="/context/psalms/103-18.htm" title="To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them....">Psalm 103:18-19</a>, and chap. <a href="/context/psalms/34-6.htm" title="This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles....">Psalm 34:6-7</a>, and which is here described in the following verses. <span class="ital">His acts, </span>&c. — His marvellous and gracious works.<span class="p"><br /><br /></span><A name="7"></a> <div class="versenum"><a href="/psalms/103-7.htm">Psalm 103:7</a></div><div class="verse">He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.</div><A name="8"></a> <div class="versenum"><a href="/psalms/103-8.htm">Psalm 103:8</a></div><div class="verse">The LORD <i>is</i> merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.</div><span class="bld"><a href="/context/psalms/103-8.htm" title="The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy....">Psalm 103:8-10</a></span>. <span class="ital">The Lord is merciful and gracious </span>— See on <a href="/exodus/34-6.htm" title="And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,">Exodus 34:6</a>. <span class="ital">Slow to anger — </span>Not speedily punishing sinners, but patiently waiting for their repentance. <span class="ital">He will not always chide — </span>Or contend by his judgments with sinners, but is ready to be reconciled to them, namely, upon their repentance, as is manifest from innumerable texts, and from the whole scope and design of the Scriptures. <span class="ital">Neither will he keep his anger for ever</span> — The word <span class="ital">anger, </span>though not in the original, is necessarily understood here, as it is also <a href="/jeremiah/3-5.htm" title="Will he reserve his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end?

Thus, in these three verses, “we are presented with three of the most beautiful, apposite, and comforting similitudes in the world. When we lift up our eyes, and behold around us the lofty and stupendous vault of heaven, encircling, protecting, enlightening, refreshing, and cherishing the earth, and all things which are therein, we are bidden to contemplate, in this glass, the immeasurable height, the boundless extent, and the salutary influences of that mercy which, as it were, embraced the creation, and is over all the works of God. Often as we view the sun arising in the sea, and darkness flying away before his face toward the opposite quarter of the heavens, we may see an image of that goodness of Jehovah, whereby we are placed in the regions of illumination, and our sins are removed, and put far away out of his sight. And, that our hearts may, at all times, have confidence toward God, he is represented as bearing toward us the fond and tender affection of a <span class="ital">father, </span>ever ready to defend, to nourish, and to provide for us, to bear with us, to forgive us, and receive us in the paternal arms of everlasting love.” — Horne. “One would think it impossible,” says another eminent divine, “if daily experience did not convince us to the contrary, that human creatures should be regardless of such love, and ungrateful to so solicitous a benefactor! For my own part, I cannot conceive it possible for any heart to be unaffected or uninfluenced by such a composition as this before us.”<span class="p"><br /><br /></span><A name="12"></a> <div class="versenum"><a href="/psalms/103-12.htm">Psalm 103:12</a></div><div class="verse">As far as the east is from the west, <i>so</i> far hath he removed our transgressions from us.</div><A name="13"></a> <div class="versenum"><a href="/psalms/103-13.htm">Psalm 103:13</a></div><div class="verse">Like as a father pitieth <i>his</i> children, <i>so</i> the LORD pitieth them that fear him.</div><A name="14"></a> <div class="versenum"><a href="/psalms/103-14.htm">Psalm 103:14</a></div><div class="verse">For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we <i>are</i> dust.</div><span class="bld"><a href="/context/psalms/103-14.htm" title="For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust....">Psalm 103:14-16</a></span>. <span class="ital">For he knoweth our frame — </span>The weakness and mortality of our natures, and the frailty and misery of our condition, (as the expression seems to be explained in the following clause) <span class="ital">That we are </span>but <span class="ital">dust — </span>And that if he should let loose his hand upon us, we should be irrecoverably destroyed. For, <span class="ital">as for man — </span>Fallen, mortal man; <span class="ital">his days are as grass — </span>Which grows out of the earth, rises but a little way above it, and soon withers and returns to it again: see <a href="/context/isaiah/40-6.htm" title="The voice said, Cry.
