Salmos 103:16-22

16 que pasó el viento por ella, y pereció; y su lugar no la conoce más.

17 Mas la misericordia del SEÑOR desde el siglo y hasta el siglo sobre los que le temen, y su justicia sobre los hijos de los hijos;

18 sobre los que guardan su pacto, y los que se acuerdan de sus mandamientos para ponerlos por obra.

19 El SEÑOR afirmó en los cielos su trono; y su reino domina sobre todos.

20 Bendecid al SEÑOR sus ángeles valientes de fuerza, que efectúan su palabra escuchando la voz de su palabra.

21 Bendecid al SEÑOR todos sus ejércitos, sus ministros, que hacen su voluntad.

22 Bendecid al SEÑOR todas sus obras en todos los lugares de su señorío. Bendice, alma mía al SEÑOR.

Salmos 103:16-22 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.
