Psalms 103:3

Psa 103:3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

Ver. 3. Who forgiveth all thine iniquities ] David not only taketh upon him with a holy imperiousness, laying God’s charge upon his soul to be thankful; but intending to show himself good cause why to be so, he worthily beginneth with remission of sin, as a complexive mercy, and such as comprehendeth all the rest. He had a crown of pure gold set upon his head, Psalms 21:3 ; but here he blesseth God for a better crown; Psalms 103:4 , "Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness," &c. And how was this crown set on his head but by forgiving all his iniquities?

Who healeth all thy diseases ] Corporal and spiritual. Quod sanitas in corpore id sanctitas in corde. Jehovah Rophe, or the Lord the physician (as he is called, Exo 15:26 ), cureth his people on both sides, maketh them whole every whit. See Isa 19:22 Matthew 8:17 . He bore our diseases.
