Psalms 103:13

Psalms 103:13. Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

The best of them need pity. There is something to pity in them; and because the Lord pities them, he will not lay too heavy a burden upon them, he will not demand too much of them, he will not give them over to their enemies. He deals tenderly with them because they are so weak.
