The Lord Will

Psalm 103:10

β€œHe hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.”

KJV

Read in Psalm 103

Meaning

Within β€œJustice and abundant mercy,” verse 10 confesses that God does not repay his people according to the full measure their sins deserve; this detail advances the unit's argument and should not be detached from the whole psalm.

Read carefully

Read Psalm 103:10 inside its literary unit and the movement of Psalm 103; its imagery and claims are constrained by that context.

Reflection

Respond to the verse's specific emphasis β€” confesses that God does not repay his people according to the full measure their sins deserve β€” while reading it together with the surrounding lines of Psalm 103.
