Psalms 103:10

8 ^aThe Lord is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.

9 ^aHe will not always strive with us,
Nor will He keep His anger forever.

10 ^aHe has not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor punished us according to our iniquities.

11 For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;

12 As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He ^aremoved our transgressions from us.

13 ^aAs a father pities his children,
So the Lord pities those who fear Him.

What Does Psalms 103:10 Mean?

Psalm 103:1-22

This psalm praises God's sovereignty over all His creation, yet it also shows His awareness and care of us as individuals. To Him, we are not nameless, faceless blobs in an endless ocean of people. The world likes to claim the incredible promise of Romans 8:28 for itself, but it really applies only to us, "those who love God . . . those who are the called." This is something to be thankful for! Each one of us is in His capable hands! God requires us to give thanks because it is good for us. Those convinced that God rules have a distinct advantage over those who believe things happen randomly.
