INTRODUCTION TO Psalms 103 A Psalm of David. The Targum adds, "spoken in prophecy,'' as doubtless it was, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Some think it was written by David, after a fit of illness, and his recovery from it, since he speaks of his diseases being healed, and his youth renewed; for which reason the Syriac interpreter suggests it was written in his old age; for he makes the...

The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. Not only for the Israelites oppressed by the Egyptians, though the psalmist might have them in his view, by what follows; for whom the Lord did justice, by delivering them out of the hands of their oppressors, and by punishing Pharaoh and his people, and bringing down judgments upon them, both in Egypt and at the Red sea;...
Matthew Henry
This psalm calls more for devotion than exposition; it is a most excellent psalm of praise, and of general use. The psalmist, I. Stirs up himself and his own soul to praise God (ver. 1, 2) for his favour to him in particular (ver. 3-5), to the church in general, and to all good men, to whom he is, and will be, just, and kind, and constant (ver. 6-18), and for his government of the world, ver. 19....

The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. He lets the oppressor go on for a while; but sooner or later, there comes a terrible retribution. There is nothing of oppression in this world that can live long; for God is abroad, and oftentimes even the horrors of war make an end to the equal horrors of oppression. God interposes in dreadful judgments to execute...

The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. Therefore, let the oppressed praise him. Let the justice, which adorns his throne, be the subject of our constant delight. There is no act of oppression, on the part of the great ones of the earth, at which he will wink: “The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.”
Charles H. Spurgeon
The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. Bless his name for this. In every age, he has broken the oppressor’s rod. For a while, his people may be made to smart; but, by-and-by, he hears their cries, and he avenges their wrongs.
Charles H. Spurgeon
Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s. The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. He will not always chide. Art thou suffering his chidings just now? They are good for...
Charles H. Spurgeon
The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. Let the poor and the down-trodden praise the Lord who so graciously takes care of them. He is the Executor of the needy, and he is the executioner of those that oppress them.
Charles H. Spurgeon
The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. Let the poor of the earth praise him for this. Let the despised—those who are trampled on—exult in the fact that God is the executioner of the proud, and the executor of the poor. “He executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.”
Charles H. Spurgeon
The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. Blessed be his name for this ! He is the supreme Governor of the world, and he will rectify all its wrongs in his own time and way. There is a great power that makes for righteousness, and that power is on the throne. “The Lord reigneth.”
Charles H. Spurgeon
