Psalms 103:1 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

PSALM 103 THE ARGUMENT This Psalm contains a thankful commemoration and celebration of God's mercies to the psalmist himself, and to the people of Israel, and to all good men. David stirreth up himself to bless God, Psalms 103:1,2; who forgiveth his sins, Psalms 103:3, redeemeth and satisfieth his soul, Psalms 103:4,5; for other manifold mercies to himself and the church, Psalms 103:6-14. He considereth the frailty of man, Psalms 103:15,16; and showeth God's everlasting mercy to his covenanted ones, Psalms 103:17-19. He exhorteth all creatures to praise him, Psalms 103:20-22. Let all my thoughts and affections be engaged, and united, and stirred up to the highest pitch in and for this work.
