PSALM 103: As the Flower...

Psalm 103:

As for man, his days are as grass:

 as a flower of the field, 

so he flourisheth.

For the wind passeth over it, 

and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.

And the place thereof shall know it no more.

vs.15,16

"This psalm represents a soliloquy in which David survey’s God’s goodness and encourages the angels and the works of God’s creation to join him in divine praise.

I. A Call for Human Praise (103:1-19).
A. Personally (103:1-5);
Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, [bless] His holy name. vs.1
B. Corporately (103:6-19).

He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. vs.10
II. A Call for Creation’s Praise (103:20-22b).
A .Angels (103:20-21);
Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. vs.20
B. Works of Creation (103:22a-b).
Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: vs.22
III. A Refrain of Personal Praise (103:22c).
bless the LORD, O my soul. vs.22."

Like as a father pitieth His children, 

so the LORD pitieth them that fear Him.

For He knoweth our frame; 

He remembereth that we are dust.

vs.13,14
