Psalms 103:9

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. Are you, just now, hearing the stern voice of his chiding?

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.

Psalms 103:9

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

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.

He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. Therefore, praise him again and again.

Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

He hath not dealt with us after our sins: nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. Come: will you not praise him for this?
