Charles H. Spurgeon on Psalms 103:1

Here is,

1. Self-converse: "Oh my soul." Many talk freely enough to others, but never talk to themselves. They are strangers to themselves —not on speaking terms with themselves —take no interest in their own souls —are dull and melancholy when alone.

2. Self-exhortation: "Bless the Lord, O my soul." Thy Creator, thy Benefactor, thy Redeemer.

3. Self-encouragement: "All that is within me" —every faculty of my mental, moral and spiritual being: with ten strings —every chord in motion. No need for one faculty of the soul to say to another, "know the Lord, for all shall know him from the least even unto the greatest." G. R.

Verse 1 (First clause, and Ps 103:22, last clause). Personal worship the Alpha and Omega of religion. C. Davis.
