Salmos 103:13-17

13 Como un padre se compadece de sus hijos, así se compadece el SEÑOR de los que le temen.

14 Porque El sabe de qué estamos hechos, se acuerda de que somos sólo polvo.

15 El hombre, como la hierba son sus días; como la flor del campo, así florece;

16 cuando el viento pasa sobre ella, deja de ser, y su lugar ya no la reconoce.

17 Mas la misericordia del SEÑOR es desde la eternidad hasta la eternidad, para los que le temen, y su justicia para los hijos de los hijos,

Salmos 103:13-17 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 103

\\<>\\. The Targum adds, ``spoken in prophecy,'' as doubtless it was, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Some think it was written by David, after a fit of illness, and his recovery from it, since he speaks of his diseases being healed, and his youth renewed; for which reason the Syriac interpreter suggests it was written in his old age; for he makes the subject of the psalm to be, ``concerning coldness which prevailed upon him in old age;'' but rather he wrote it when his heart was warm with a sense of the love of God, and spiritual blessings of grace flowing from thence; and in it celebrates and sings the benefits of New Testament times; and it is a psalm suitable to be sung by every believer, under a quick sense of divine favours: wherefore the above interpreter better adds, ``also an instruction and thanksgiving by men of God;'' whom the psalmist may very well be thought to personate, even in Gospel times; and much rather than the Jews in captivity, as Kimchi thinks.
