As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
David teaches every godly person to thank God first for mercies granted to himself, then for the grace He has given to all His chosen ones through covenant. The Psalmist chiefly magnifies God's mercy in bearing with His people, not because they deserve it, but because He takes pity on their weakness.

Commenting on Psalm 103:1-22
No words on the inspired page can match this verse. Sin is removed by a miracle of love, carried so far that its distance is incalculable, further with every wing-beat eastward, never to return. Even Satan himself could not bring it back; our sins are simply gone, bearing no trace, no scent, no memory.
AI summary
God executes righteousness not only for His people but for all the oppressed; He is the patron of wronged innocency everywhere. It is His honour to humble the proud and help the helpless. Divine revelation is the first and greatest favour the church receives, for by knowing God we are restored to Him and given all good.
