Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities - according to David's prayer, trusting in God's gracious character (Psalms 25:11; Psalms 51:9; Psalms 86:5). This shall be Israel's experience when she shall turn to the Lord. To this the ulterior reference is (Psalms 130:8; Jeremiah 50:20).
Who healeth all thy diseases. The maladies of the body, including all earthly sufferings (Deuteronomy 29:22; Exodus 15:26), are associated with the soul's sicknesses, "iniquities." Christ came as the Healer of both. By removing sin, the cause, He will finally remove sickness and suffering, the effect (Isaiah 33:24). He gave an earnest of this in combining His forgiveness of the paralytic with His cure of his body (Mark 2:5; Mark 2:10; Matthew 9:2; Matthew 9:6: cf. also Luke 7:47, and the quotation of Isaiah 53:4, with a significant alteration in Matthew 8:17).
