What does Psalm 103:10 mean?
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 ) .
