Psalm 103:11-22
Yesterday I posted about God’s mercy (vv. 8, 10). Today it’s about His love: The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love … For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His steadfast love toward those who fear Him … But the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him… (vv. 8, 11, 17).
Mercy and love; love and mercy. We see those two attributes together in verse 4: …Who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy… And in response to his recognition of these two attributes, David’s response is praise as he closes this Psalm: Bless the LORD…, Bless the LORD…, Bless the LORD…, Bless the LORD, O my soul!
