Commentary on Psalms 103:13
God's fatherly compassion toward those who fear Him provides intimate, relational context for mercy. The Hebrew 'pities' (racham) shares a root with 'womb,' suggesting motherly tenderness. This parental imagery grounds theology in relationship, not mere legal transaction. The Reformed understanding of adoption recognizes that believers aren't merely pardoned criminals but become God's beloved children. Christ taught us to pray 'Our Father' (Matt 6:9), establishing this intimate relationship as central to the gospel.
