17 But the 1lovingkindness of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, And His righteousness 2to children's children,
18 To 3those who keep His covenant And remember His precepts to do them.
19 The LORD has established His 4throne in the heavens, And His 5sovereignty rules over all.
20 Bless the LORD, you 6His angels, 7Mighty in strength, who 8perform His word, 9Obeying the voice of His word!
21 Bless the LORD, all you 10His hosts, You 11who serve Him, doing His will.
22 Bless the LORD, 12all you works of His, In all places of His dominion; Bless the LORD, O my soul!

Psalm 103:17-22 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.
