Today is Friday, September 17th, 2021; Karen's Korner #4529

In Psalm 103, the introduction says, "God's great love for us. What God does for us tell us what He is really like." David (writer) tells reads 'about God'.

A number of Bible teachers tell that we can 'pray back Scripture'; using the words as prayers. Here David is talking about God:I am going to change the words into addressing God:  You!

" I bless the holy name of You, God, with all my heart.
Yes, I will bless You Lord and not forget the glorious things You do for me.
You forgive all my sins.
You ransom me from hell.
You surround me with lovingkindness, and tender mercies. 
You fill my life with good things!
My youth is renewed like the eagle's!
You give justice to all who are treated unfairly.

You are merciful and tender towards whose who don't deserve it.
You are slow to get angry and are full of kindness and love.
You never bear a grudge, nor remain angry forever.
You have not punished us as we deserve, for all our sins, for Your mercy toward those of us who fear and honor You, is as great as the heights of the heavens above the earth.

You have removed our sins as far away as the east is from the west.
You are like a father to us,
tender and sympathetic to those of us who reverence You......."

(verses 1 - 13)
