Psalms 103:13

Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

• Compassion
• Love
• Fatherhood
• Mercy
• Care

This verse compares God’s compassion for His people to the love and pity a father has for his children. It paints a picture of a father who lovingly cares for his children, providing for them, protecting them, and offering comfort when they are hurting. Just as a father knows the needs of his children and responds with compassion, so does God know our hearts and respond with mercy. This verse also reminds us of the father-child relationship we have with God, inviting us to see Him not only as Creator and King but as a tender, loving Father. His love for us is personal, intimate, and caring, much like the love a parent feels for their child. The comparison to a father’s pity underscores that God’s compassion is not distant or detached but comes from a place of deep care and concern for our well-being. Just as a child can trust their father’s care, so can we trust in God’s fatherly love, knowing that He will always provide what we need in His perfect timing.
