Psalms 103:6
Compare all
4 Who redeems your life from destruction,
aWho crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, 
5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that ayour youth is renewed like the eagle’s. 
6 The Lord executes righteousness
And justice for all who are oppressed.
7 aHe made known His ways to Moses,
His acts to the children of Israel. 
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.

Psalms 103:6

The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment - That is, "justice." He sees that justice is done to the oppressed. He is on their side. His law, his commands, his judicial decisions, his providential interpositions, are in their favor. This does not mean that it will he done at once; or that there will never be any delay; or that they may not suffer even for a long time - for this occurs in fact; but the meaning is, that God has their true interest at heart; that at proper times, and whenever and whereever there are any dealings of his in the case, his acts are in favor of those that are oppressed; and that there will be sooner or later such interpositions in their behalf as shall entirely vindicate their cause.

For all that are oppressed - By harsh laws; by unjust governments; by slavery; by unrighteous decisions in courts; by the pride and power of wicked people. Compare the notes at Isaiah 1:17, notes at Isaiah 1:23-27.
