Psalms 103:14

“For he knoweth our frame, etc.] The outward frame of their bodies, what brittle ware, what earthen vessels, they be; he being the potter, they the clay, he knows what they are able to bear, and what not; that if he lays his hand too heavy, or strikes too hard, or repeats his strokes too often, they will fall in pieces: he knows the inward frame of their minds, the corruption of their nature, how prone they are to sin; and therefore does not expect perfect services from them: how impotent they are to that which is good; that they can do nothing of themselves; nor think a good thought, nor do a good action; and that their best frames are very uncertain ones; and that, though the spirit may be…”

“103:14-16 The Lord compassionately cares for frail humans (see 37:2; 90:5; 92:7; 102:4; Isa 40:6-8).”

“he knoweth: Psa 78:38, Psa 78:39, Psa 89:47 we are dust: Gen 3:19; Job 7:5-7, Job 7:21, Job 10:9, Job 13:25; Ecc 12:7 Psalms 103:15”
