14 For he knoweth H3045 our frame; H3336 he remembereth H2142 that we are dust. H6083
In the sweat H2188 of thy face H639 shalt thou eat H398 bread, H3899 till H5704 thou return H7725 unto the ground; H127 for out of it wast thou taken: H3947 for dust H6083 thou H859 art, and unto dust H6083 shalt thou return. H7725
Remember, H2142 I beseech thee, that thou hast made H6213 me as the clay; H2563 and wilt thou bring H7725 me into dust H6083 again? H7725
But he, being full of compassion, H7349 forgave H3722 their iniquity, H5771 and destroyed H7843 them not: yea, many a time H7235 turned H7725 he his anger H639 away, H7725 and did not stir up H5782 all his wrath. H2534 For he remembered H2142 that they were but flesh; H1320 a wind H7307 that passeth away, H1980 and cometh not again. H7725
Remember H2142 how short H2465 my time is: wherefore hast thou made H1254 all men H1121 H120 in vain? H7723
Then shall the dust H6083 return H7725 to the earth H776 as it was: and the spirit H7307 shall return H7725 unto God H430 who gave H5414 it.
My flesh H1320 is clothed H3847 with worms H7415 and clods H1487 of dust; H6083 my skin H5785 is broken, H7280 and become loathsome. H3988 My days H3117 are swifter H7043 than a weaver's shuttle, H708 and are spent H3615 without H657 hope. H8615 O remember H2142 that my life H2416 is wind: H7307 mine eye H5869 shall no more H7725 see H7200 good. H2896
And why dost thou not pardon H5375 my transgression, H6588 and take away H5674 mine iniquity? H5771 for now shall I sleep H7901 in the dust; H6083 and thou shalt seek me in the morning, H7836 but I shall not be.
Wilt thou break H6206 a leaf H5929 driven to and fro? H5086 and wilt thou pursue H7291 the dry H3002 stubble? H7179
Surely your turning of things upside down H2017 shall be esteemed H2803 as the potter's H3335 clay: H2563 for shall the work H4639 say H559 of him that made H6213 it, He made H6213 me not? or shall the thing framed H3336 say H559 of him that framed H3335 it, He had no understanding? H995

This psalm calls more for devotion than exposition; it is a most excellent psalm of praise, and of general use. The psalmist,
In singing this psalm we must in a special manner get our hearts affected with the goodness of God and enlarged in love and thankfulness.
A psalm of David.
Psa 103:1-5
David is here communing with his own heart, and he is no fool that thus talks to himself and excites his own soul to that which is good. Observe,
Psa 103:6-18
Hitherto the psalmist had only looked back upon his own experiences and thence fetched matter for praise; here he looks abroad and takes notice of his favour to others also; for in them we should rejoice and give thanks for them, all the saints being fed at a common table and sharing in the same blessings.
Psa 103:19-22
Here is,
