Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 3. Who forgiveth ] The benefits are the following, 1. Forgiveness of sin. 2. Restoration of health: "Who healeth all thy diseases."
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-5 - By the pardon of sin, that is taken away which kept good things from us, and we are restored to the favor of God, who bestows good things of us. Think of the provocation; it was sin, and yet pardoned: how man the provocations, yet all pardoned! God is still forgiving, as we ar still sinning and repenting. The body finds the melancholy consequence of Adam's offence, it is subject to many infirmities, and the sou also. Christ alone forgives all our sins; it is he alone who heals all our infirmities. And the person who finds his sin cured, has well-grounded assurance that it is forgiven. When God, by the grace and comforts of his Spirit, recovers his people from their decays, an fills them with new life and joy, which is to them an earnest of eternal life and joy, they may then be said to return to the days of their youth, Job 33:25.
