Psalm 103
1. An exhortation to bless God for his mercy
5. And for the constancy thereof














He has not dealt with us according to our sins
This phrase emphasizes the mercy and grace of God. The Hebrew root for "dealt" is "עָשָׂה" (asah), which means to do, make, or act. In the context of divine justice, it suggests that God, in His sovereignty, chooses not to act towards us in the way our sins deserve. Historically, the Israelites understood the weight of sin and the justice it demanded, often through the sacrificial system. Yet, this verse highlights God's restraint and mercy, a theme that resonates throughout the Bible, pointing to His loving nature.

or repaid us according to our iniquities
The word "repaid" comes from the Hebrew "גָּמַל" (gamal), which means to deal out or recompense. Iniquities, from the Hebrew "עָוֹן" (avon), refers to moral perversity or guilt. The historical context of this phrase is rooted in the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where blessings and curses were contingent upon obedience or disobedience. However, this verse underscores a divine principle of grace, where God chooses not to repay us in proportion to our moral failures. This is a profound expression of His compassion and forgiveness, which is fully realized in the New Testament through the atoning work of Jesus Christ.

Verse 10. - He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us (rather, requited us) according to our iniquities. God never punishes men so much as they deserve to be punished; "in his wrath he" always "thinketh upon mercy."
