Commentary on Psalms 103:8
This verse quotes God's self-revelation to Moses (Exod 34:6-7), central to Israel's understanding of God's character. 'Merciful' (rachum) and 'gracious' (channun) emphasize God's compassion. 'Slow to anger' (erek appayim, literally 'long of nostrils') and 'plenteous in mercy' (rab chesed) demonstrate patience and abundant covenant love. These attributes ground all theology—God's essence is gracious love, not vindictive judgment. Christ perfectly embodies these attributes, demonstrating God's character in human form.
