Psalm 103 Summary

Psalm 103 calls the soul to bless the LORD and remember his benefits—forgiveness, healing, redemption, and steadfast, fatherly love.

David rouses himself to worship: ‘Praise the LORD, my soul… and forget not all his benefits,’ then lists God’s mercies—forgiveness, healing, redemption, and crowning love.

He celebrates God’s compassion ‘as a father has compassion on his children’ and his everlasting love for those who fear him.
