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














He made known
This phrase indicates a deliberate act of revelation by God. The Hebrew root word here is "יָדַע" (yada), which means to know or to make known. In the context of the Old Testament, this often implies a deep, intimate knowledge that God imparts to His people. The act of making known is not just about imparting information but about establishing a relationship. God desires His people to understand His ways and character, which is a recurring theme throughout the Scriptures. This revelation is a gift, showing God's desire for His people to walk in His truth.

His ways
The term "ways" in Hebrew is "דֶּרֶךְ" (derek), which refers to a path or journey. In a broader sense, it signifies the manner or conduct of life. God's ways are His methods, principles, and the moral and ethical paths He sets before His people. Understanding God's ways is crucial for living a life that is pleasing to Him. The Bible consistently contrasts the ways of God with the ways of the world, urging believers to choose the former. This phrase emphasizes the importance of aligning one's life with God's divine principles.

to Moses
Moses is a central figure in the Old Testament, known as the lawgiver and leader of the Israelites. His relationship with God was unique, characterized by direct communication and profound intimacy. God revealed His ways to Moses in a manner that was unparalleled, as seen in the giving of the Law on Mount Sinai. Moses serves as a mediator between God and His people, and his life exemplifies obedience and faithfulness. The mention of Moses here underscores the significance of divine revelation and leadership in guiding God's people.

His deeds
The Hebrew word for "deeds" is "עֲלִילוֹת" (alilot), which refers to actions or works. God's deeds are the mighty acts He performs, often demonstrating His power, justice, and mercy. Throughout the Bible, God's deeds are a testament to His sovereignty and faithfulness. They serve as reminders of His covenant promises and His ability to fulfill them. The deeds of God are not just historical events but are meant to inspire faith and trust in His ongoing work in the world.

to the people of Israel
Israel, the chosen people of God, is central to the narrative of the Old Testament. The Hebrew term for Israel is "יִשְׂרָאֵל" (Yisrael), meaning "God prevails" or "he who struggles with God." This name reflects the nation's identity and destiny. God's revelation of His deeds to Israel is a testament to His covenant relationship with them. It highlights His faithfulness and the special role Israel plays in His redemptive plan. The history of Israel is a tapestry of God's interaction with humanity, serving as a foundation for understanding His purposes and promises.

(7) Moses.--A direct reference to Exodus 33:13.

Verse 7. - He made known his ways unto Moses. God's ways are "past finding out" by man (Romans 11:33); they must be "made known" to him. God made them known to Moses by the revelations which he gave him, especially those of Sinai. His acts unto the children of Israel. The rest of the Israelites were taught mainly by God's "acts" - not that his words were concealed from them, but because

"Segnius irritant animum demissa per aures,
Quam quae sunt oculis subjecta fidelibus."
