who forgives all your iniquities
The Hebrew word for "forgives" is "סָלַח" (salach), which conveys a sense of pardoning or sparing. In the context of the Old Testament, forgiveness is a divine prerogative, emphasizing God's mercy and grace. The term "iniquities" translates from "עָוֹן" (avon), referring to moral perversity or sin. This phrase underscores the comprehensive nature of God's forgiveness, extending to all forms of sin. Historically, the Israelites understood iniquity as a burden that only God could lift, highlighting His role as a redeemer. This forgiveness is not partial but complete, reflecting the boundless mercy of God, who desires to restore His people fully.

heals all your diseases
The word "heals" comes from the Hebrew "רָפָא" (rapha), meaning to restore or make whole. This term is often used in the context of physical healing, but it also encompasses spiritual and emotional restoration. "Diseases" in Hebrew is "תַּחֲלֻאִים" (tachalu'im), which can refer to physical ailments or metaphorically to spiritual maladies. In the ancient Near Eastern context, disease was often seen as a consequence of sin, and healing was a sign of divine favor. This phrase assures believers of God's power to heal every aspect of their being, reinforcing the idea that God is the ultimate physician who cares for both body and soul.

(3) Forgiveth.--The first "benefit" to one who aims at the higher life is the knowledge of the Divine readiness to forgive and renew, and this, as Augustine remarks, implies a quick moral sense: "God's benefits will not be before our eyes unless our sins are also before our eyes."

Diseases.--Here chiefly in a moral sense, as the parallelism "iniquity" shows, even if the next verse, taken literally, implies an allusion to physical suffering as well.

Verse 3. - Who forgiveth all thine iniquities. This is the first and greatest of "benefits," and is therefore placed first, as that for which we ought, above all else, to bless God. God's forgiveness of sin is a frequent topic with the psalmists (see Psalm 25:11, 18; Psalm 32:1; Psalm 51:9; Psalm 85:2; Psalm 86:5, etc.). Who healeth all thy diseases. This is best understood literally - not as mere "parallelism." Among the greatest blessings which we receive of God is recovery from sickness.
