He made known his ways unto Moses his acts unto the children of Israel. Therefore, let us bless him, the God of revelation, who does not hide himself from his creatures; but who makes known his ways and his acts unto his people. An unknown God is an unpraised God; but when he shows himself to his people, they cannot refrain from blessing his name.
The Lord is merciful and gracious,.... So he made himself known to Moses, Exodus 34:6, and so David found him to be, and therefore calls upon his soul to bless his name. God is "merciful" in the most tender and affectionate manner; he has bowels of mercy, which yearn towards his people, as those of a tender parent to its child, as the word...
The LORD is merciful and gracious, Bless him, O my soul! Bless him for this, for where wouldst thou have been if he had not been merciful? Where wouldst thou be if he were not gracious, giving grace to keep thee what thou art, and to make thee better? Psa_103:8. Slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. Blessed words! Any who are under a sense of sin...
The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. Therefore, again praise him. All who know and love the Lord should form a great orchestra continually magnifying his holy name.
The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. Surely, dear friends, we can all bless God for this truth; for, if he had been quick to be angry, where should we have been? If his mercy has been scanty, we should long ago have been destroyed, but he is “slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.”
The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenty in mercy. Praise him for all this; at every mention of any one of his divine attributes let your hearts beat to the music of praise.

He will not always chide,.... He sometimes does chide his children, though never but when they have done a fault; always for their sins, in order to bring them to a sense and acknowledgment of them, and to depart from them; not for chiding sake, as some parents, to gratify their passion and ill humour, who correct for their own pleasure; but the...
He will not always chide: He will chide sometimes. He would not be a kind Father if he did not. That is a cruel father to his children who never chides them. This was Eli’s sin, and you know how it brought destruction upon him and his house. Our Father takes care to chide us when we need it; but “he will not always chide.”
Neither will he keep his anger for ever. He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. Brothers and sisters, bless his name for this. Let every verse, as we read it, awaken fresh gratitude; and let us keep up the music of our souls in harmony with the language of the Psalm.
He wilt not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. So that, if you are just now being chidden by him, if you have some consciousness of his anger, begin to bless him that it wilt not last long: “He will not always chide,” Behold the rainbow painted on the storm-cloud, and bless the name of the Lord even while you are under his...
He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. Are you, just now, hearing the stern voice of his chiding? Does his anger, like a black cloud, seem to rest upon you, and hide from you his reconciled face? Then, bless the Lord that “he will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever” against his own chosen ones.
Neither will he keep his anger for ever. He hath not dealt with us after our sins;- It is all of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed: “He hath not dealt with us after our sins;” —
He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. Therefore let the afflicted praise him, let the downcast and the despondent sing praises unto his holy name. If they cannot sing because of anything else, let them bless the name of the Lord that he will not keep his anger for ever.
He will not always chide: So that even you who feel his chidings tonight ought to bless him, because they last such a little while. Such are our faults that if he were always chiding, we could not find any fault with him. But he will not always chide. He will sometimes. He makes us know the folly of our hearts when we wander from him, but “he will...
He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. Let the afflicted praise him; let the downcast and the despondent sinner praise him; if he cannot sing about anything else, let him bless the name of the Lord that he will not keep his anger for ever.
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...
He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. Therefore, praise him again and again. Had he dealt with us as we deserve, we should not have been here; but we are still here, on praying ground, and on pleading terms with the Most High; therefore, let us praise him.
He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. Bless the Lord for that. Sweep your hand over the harp strings so as to fetch the sweetest music from them. How true it is of me and of you? “He hath not dealt with us after our sins!”
