Salmi 103:10

10 Egli non ci ha fatto secondo i nostri peccati; E non ci ha reso la retribuzione secondo le nostre iniquità.

Salmi 103:10 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 103:10

He hath not dealt with us after our sins
God deals with his people, and deals with them roundly, for their sins, reproving them by his Spirit, and by his ministers, and by his chastising rod; but not after or according to them, or as they deserve; in this David acknowledges himself and other saints, with whom he joins, to be sinners, to have been guilty of sins, as none live without them; and that God had taken notice of them, and chastised them for them; but in great moderation, and not according to the due demerit of them:

nor rewarded us according to our iniquities;
had he, if every transgression had received its just recompence of reward, they must have been sent to hell; the lake burning with fire and brimstone must have been their portion; the wages of sin is eternal death: the reason why God deals not with nor rewards his people according to the due desert of their sins is because Christ has bore them, and the chastisement of them, and made satisfaction to divine justice for them; see ( Ezra 9:13 ) .

Salmi 103:10 In-Context

8 Il Signore è pietoso e clemente; Lento all’ira, e di gran benignità.

9 Egli non contende in eterno; E non serba l’ira in perpetuo.

10 Egli non ci ha fatto secondo i nostri peccati; E non ci ha reso la retribuzione secondo le nostre iniquità.

11 Perciocchè, quanto sono alti i cieli sopra la terra, Tanto è grande la sua benignità inverso quelli che lo temono.

12 Quant’è lontano il Levante dal Ponente, Tanto ha egli allontanati da noi i nostri misfatti.
