Psalms 103:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 103:13

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.

14 For He¹ knows our frame;
He remembers that we are dust.

15 As for man, ^ahis days are like grass;
As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

16 ^aFor the wind passes over it, and it is¹ gone,
And ^bits place remembers it no more.

17 But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting
On those who fear Him,
And His righteousness to children’s children,

18 ^aTo such as keep His covenant,
And to those who remember His commandments to do them.

19 The Lord has established His throne in heaven,
And ^aHis kingdom rules over all.

20 ^aBless the Lord, you His angels,
Who excel in strength, who ^bdo His word,
Heeding the voice of His word.

Psalm 103:8-18

That is the kicker there. We have to keep His covenant and remember to keep His commandments, but He promises to those people who do that He will give all of these wonderful benefits, among the greatest of which is forgiveness of sin. Not according to what we did does He deal with us.
