Psalms 103:4

Psalms 103:4. Who redeemeth thy life from destruction;

Who has redeemed thee with his own precious blood, and given thee a life above all life-the life of God within thee-a redeemed life. Oh! by the precious blood that bought thee, wilt thou be silent? Wilt thou not sing about redemption? Is it not the sweetest theme to sing about that ever can be imagined?

Psalms 103:4. Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

Treats thee like a king. As a king giveth to a king, so gives he his mercies unto thee-crowns thee. What! shall a crowned head refuse to praise him who crowned it? No. "Bless the lord, O my soul!"
