Psalm 103
1. An exhortation to bless God for his mercy
5. And for the constancy thereof














to those who keep His covenant
The phrase "to those who keep His covenant" emphasizes the importance of faithfulness and commitment in the relationship between God and His people. The Hebrew word for "keep" is "שָׁמַר" (shamar), which means to guard, watch, or preserve. This implies an active, diligent effort to maintain the terms of the covenant. In the biblical context, a covenant is a solemn agreement or promise, often initiated by God, that establishes a relationship with His people. Historically, covenants were central to the identity of Israel, such as the Abrahamic, Mosaic, and Davidic covenants. These covenants required the people to live according to God's laws and commands, reflecting their loyalty and devotion to Him. The call to "keep His covenant" is a reminder of the enduring nature of God's promises and the responsibility of His people to live in accordance with His will.

and remember to obey His precepts
The phrase "and remember to obey His precepts" highlights the necessity of mindfulness and action in the life of a believer. The Hebrew word for "remember" is "זָכַר" (zakar), which means to recall or bring to mind. This suggests an intentional effort to keep God's commands at the forefront of one's thoughts and actions. The word "obey" is derived from the Hebrew "שָׁמַע" (shama), meaning to hear, listen, or give heed. It implies not just passive listening but active compliance and responsiveness to God's instructions. "Precepts" refers to God's statutes or commandments, which are designed to guide His people in righteous living. In the historical and scriptural context, the precepts of God were given to Israel as a means of setting them apart as a holy nation, dedicated to His service. This phrase serves as an exhortation to believers to continually align their lives with God's teachings, ensuring that their actions reflect His character and purposes.

Verse 18. - To such as keep his covenant; i.e. "to the faithful" - to those who, notwithstanding many lapses and many shortcomings, are yet sincere in heart, and seek to do his will. Such persons remember his commandments to do them.
