Psalm 103 has been called David’s “Hallelujah Chorus.” In this Psalm we are given many benefits of the redeemed–benefits which are presented as reasons to praise the Lord.
Victory over any negative circumstance is not far away when we begin to bless the Lord and remember all His benefits: we are redeemed, forgiven, healed, and given a vigorous and satisfying life in the Lord Jesus Christ. Focus your thoughts on God’s strength and pwoer and recognize that the invincible God is moving on your behalf. You can live in joy and security, knowing that the Lord will never let you down–remember He is the Almighty God. —Marilyn Hickey
Psalm 103:1-7 (Message Bible)
O my soul, bless God. From head to toe, I’ll bless his holy name!
O my soul, bless God, don’t forget a single blessing!
-He forgives your sins–every one.
-He heals your diseases–every one.
-He redeems you from hell–saves your life!
-He crowns you with love and mercy–paradise crown.
-He wraps you in godness–beauty eternal.
-He renews your youth–you’re always young in his presence.
God makes everything come out right; he puts victims back on their feet.
V. 17 God’s love, though, is ever and always, eternally present to all who fear him,
Making everything right for them and their children as they follow his Covenant ways
and remember to do whatever he said.
