Scripture of the Day from 50 scriptures PDF
Psalm 103:2-3
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth
all thy diseases;
KEY TERMS (STRONG'S)
BENEFITS (H1576) gemul, a dealing, recompense, that which is rendered as due
HEALETH (H7495) rapha, to mend, restore, heal
LEXICAL NOTE
Gemul (H1576, BDB) is a term of settled account, a recompense rendered. The psalmist catalogs forgiveness and healing together as two line items on the same legal ledger, both discharged from the same covenant transaction.
JURIDICAL-COVENANTAL EXEGESIS
The parallelism binds healing to forgiveness as twin verdicts issued from the same bench in the same breath. To forget the benefit is, in juridical terms, to fail to enter the judgment into evidence when it is needed. The command to the soul to remember functions as a legal instruction to keep the record of the verdict active in one's own testimony.
HOW TO PRAY THIS SCRIPTURE
Pray by rehearsing the ledger: "Lord, I will not forget Your benefits. As You have forgiven all my iniquities, so You
heal all my diseases; these are one transaction, not two. I enter this verdict into evidence over my body today."
