Psalm 103:5

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 103:1-22

It seems almost a work of supererogation to write anything about this psalm. It is perhaps the most perfect song of pure praise to be found in the Bible. It has become the common inheritance of all who through suffering and deliverance have learned the goodness of Jehovah. Through centuries it has been sung by glad hearts, and today is as fresh and full of beauty as ever. It is praise intensive and extensive. As to its intensity, notice how the entire personality of the singer is recognised.... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 103:5

LIFE’S PERPETUAL RENEWAL‘Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.’Psalms 103:5How may we recover in manhood, but in a wiser way, what was noble in our youth—recover our manifold interests, our poetic feeling towards the history of man and nature, our ideal of the goodness, truth, and love of man? I. The restoration of manifold interests.—Youth teaches us diversity, the first entrance into middle age concentration; in later life we ought to... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 103:1-22

CIII. A Hymn of Thanksgiving for Yahweh’ s Pardoning Love.— The main theme is stated in Psalms 103:6-2 Chronicles :. Yahweh is just, He rights the oppressed, but above all He is considerate and ready to pardon sin. He acts like a father to His children. Psalms 103:1-Deuteronomy : . The poet speaks from his own experience. He calls on his own soul to bless Yahweh. Here the singular is used: not so in Psalms 103:6-2 Chronicles : (see above). Psalms 103:15-Job :. A man’ s life is short, but... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 103:5

Who satisfieth all thy just desires and necessities. Like the eagle’s; either, 1. As the eagle reneweth her youth by casting all her old feathers, and getting new ones, whereby it seems to grow young again. But this, being common to all birds, would not have been appropriated to the eagle. Or rather, 2. Like the youth of an eagle. As the eagle lives long in great strength and vigour, so that the old age of an eagle is used proverbially for a lively and vigorous old age; so this is a promise of... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 103:1-22

INTRODUCTIONThis, as appears from the superscription, is one of David’s Psalms. It is a Psalm of great beauty and preciousness, and has been a great favourite of devout souls in all ages. The fulness of the mercy of God in the forgiveness of sins and the enrichment of the soul, and His tender, fatherly pity for His frail and dying children, are here gracefully and gratefully celebrated. It must have been composed at a time when the Poet’s soul was filled with precious and grateful recollections... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 103:3-5

Psalms 103:3-5 I. He "forgiveth all thine iniquities." Thine iniquities are in-equities. There is nothing just or right in thee. He forgiveth thee thine evil nature, and He forgiveth all its evil fruit. And His forgiveness, like His power, fulfils itself in works. II. He "healeth all thy diseases." Corruption and disease have a spiritual origin. The Divine art of healing therefore lies in the forgiveness of sin. Remove the in-equities of the soul, and universal healing comes in. Christ healeth... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 103:5

Psalms 103:5 How may we recover in manhood, but in a wiser way, what was noble in our youth recover our manifold interests, our poetic feeling towards the history of man and nature, our ideal of the goodness, truth, and love of man? I. The restoration of manifold interests. Youth teaches us diversity, the first entrance into middle age concentration; in later life we ought to combine both, to recover the interests of the one and to retain the power of the other. I think one can do it best by... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 103:1-22

Psalms 103:1-22 , a favorite psalm of thanksgiving time. I trust that it wasn't so long ago that you have already forgotten how thankful you were.Bless the LORD, O my soul ( Psalms 103:1 ):Now this is a command of David, or a command of David, the psalmist to himself. David often was talking to his inward man, talking to his soul. And here he is commanding himself, commanding his soul to bless the Lord, "Bless the Lord, my soul." In one psalm, David, in talking to his soul, said, "Why are you... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 103:1-22

This is a psalm of David, written after some recent deliverance from sickness, or other affliction. The composition is the unfolding of the heart in gratitude to God, for personal and for national mercies. He calls not only on men, but also on angels to join the choir. The title, “a psalm of David,” is supported by all the Versions. Psalms 103:3 . Who forgiveth who healeth all thy diseases. Sins and afflictions are synonymous terms in Hebrew piety, and of frequent occurrence. Isaiah 38:17.... read more
