Bless the LORD, o my soul, and forget not his benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thine diseases; who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with loving kindness and tender mercies

What does it mean that God crowns us with loving kindness and tender mercies?

I think that means that God pours out His love and compassion on us so that we could share them with others.
You should consider starting a blog. I think you'd write a lot of good stuff.

I believe it's His presence in our lives, made manifest through the holy spirit and the fruit of the spirit, which love is a part of.

You visit the earth and cause it to overflow;
You greatly enrich it.

The stream of God is full of water;
You prepare their grain, for thus You prepare the earth.

You water its furrows abundantly;
You settle its ridges.

You soften it with showers;
You bless its growth.

You have crowned the year with Your bounty,
And Your paths drip fatness.

The pastures of the wilderness drip,
And the hills gird themselves with rejoicing.

The meadows are clothed with flocks
And the valleys are covered with grain;

They shout for joy, yes, they sing.

(Psalm 65:9-13)

God has crowned us with loving kindness and tender mercies. He has applied His loving kindness and His tender mercies to our lives. We are surrounded by His abundant loving kindness and His tender mercies.

I love that we are not told we have to remember all of His goodness, kindness, love, mercy toward us. We are just told not to forget. He is so good to us. His grace and mercy runs from eternity past to eternity future and we cannot ever fill eternity with our praise of Him. God is that magnificent!

Psalm 103 is a psalm of unmixed praise to Jehovah God. David having experienced many trials and temptations is just giving God praise for Gods care of him.

verse 10 God has not dealt with us after or sins nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

We are dust and God loves us. That is crowned with loving kindness and tender mercies.

Blessing we could never merit and do not deserve.

For the cause of Christ
