103:2 Praise the Lord, O my soul!

Do not forget all his kind deeds! ¹ 

103:3 He is the one who forgives all your sins,

who heals all your diseases, ² 

Mazmur 130:4

130:4 But ³  you are willing to forgive, ⁴ 

so that you might ⁵  be honored. ⁶ 

Mazmur 130:7-8

130:7 O Israel, hope in the Lord,

for the Lord exhibits loyal love, ⁷ 

and is more than willing to deliver. ⁸ 

130:8 He will deliver ⁹  Israel

from all the consequences of their sins. ¹⁰ 

[103:2]  ¹ tn Or “his benefits” (see 2 Chr 32:25, where the noun is also used of kind deeds performed by the Lord).

[103:3]  ² tn This relatively rare noun refers to deadly diseases (see Deut 29:22; Jer 14:18; 16:4; 2 Chr 21:19).

[130:4]  ³ tn Or “surely.”

[130:4]  ⁴ tn Heb “for with you [there is] forgiveness.”

[130:4]  ⁵ tn Or “consequently you are.”

[130:4]  ⁶ tn Heb “feared.”

[130:7]  ⁷ tn Heb “for with the Lord [is] loyal love.”

[130:7]  ⁸ tn Heb “and abundantly with him [is] redemption.”

[130:8]  ⁹ tn Or “redeem.”

[130:8]  ¹⁰ tn The Hebrew noun עָוֹן (’avon) can refer to sin, the guilt sin produces, or the consequences of sin. Only here is the noun collocated with the verb פָּדָה (padah, “to redeem; to deliver”). The psalmist may refer to forgiveness per se (v. 4), but the emphasis in this context is likely on deliverance from the national consequences of sin. See L. C. Allen, Psalms 101-150 (WBC), 192.
