Commentary

Commentary on Psalms 103:1

Theological / Devotional

Bless the Lord. See on Ps. 63:4.

Soul. See on Ps. 16:10.

All that is within me. Nothing less than the use of all our faculties is sufficient to praise the Lord.

Name. See Ps. 33:21; also see on Ps. 7:17. The inversion of the order in which the ideas are presented (the rhetorical figure of chiasmus) is a pleasing rhetorical variation in the synonymous parallelism.
