Contextual Overview

⁶ God executeth iustice and iudgement: for all them that are oppressed with wrong. ⁷ He made his wayes knowen vnto Moyses: his workes vnto the children of Israel. ⁸ God is full of compassion and pitie: loth to be angry, and exceedyng great in mercie. ⁹ He vseth not to continue in chydyng: neither reserueth he [his anger] for euer. ¹⁰ He dealeth not with vs accordyng to our sinnes: nor rewardeth vs according to our wickednesse. ¹¹ For accordyng to the hyghnesse of heauen aboue the earth: his mercie preuayleth to them that feare hym. ¹² [Loke] howe farre distaunt the east is from the west: so farre a sunder setteth he our sinnes from vs. ¹³ Yea lyke as a father pitieth [his owne] children: euen so is God mercifull vnto them that feare hym. ¹⁴ For he knoweth wherof we be made: he remembreth that we are but dust. ¹⁵ The dayes of man are as [the dayes] of an hearbe: he florisheth as a flowre in the fielde.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He will not always chide,.... He sometimes does chide his children, though never but when they have done a fault; always for their sins, in order to bring them to a sense and acknowledgment of them, and to depart from them; not for chiding sake, as some parents, to gratify their passion and ill humour, who correct for their own pleasure; but the Lord chides and corrects for the profit of his children, that they may be partakers of his holiness; he ever does it for their good, but he will not always chide, or continue it ever: or "he will not always contend" e, strive with them, litigate a point with them, hold out a controversy, not being able to stand before him; he knows their frame, their weakness, and frailty; see Isaiah 57:16,

neither will he keep his anger for ever; though he does with the wicked, yet not with his own people; that endures but for a moment, and is rather seeming than real; and what does appear is soon turned away; he does not retain it long, he is quickly pacified towards them for all they have done, and smiles again upon them, Micah 7:18.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

He will not always chide - Rebuke; contend; strive; for so the Hebrew word means. He will not always contend with people, or manifest his displeasure. See the notes at Isaiah 57:16; notes at Psalms 78:38-39. This implies that he may chide or rebuke his people, but that this will not be forever. He will punish them; he will manifest his displeasure at their sins; he will show that he does not approve of their course, but he will show that he “loves them,” and does not seek their ruin.

Neither will he keep his anger for ever - The words “his anger” are supplied by the translators, but not improperly. The meaning is the same as in the former member of the sentence. He will not cherish hatred when the object of the chastisement is accomplished. It is not his character to retain anger for its own sake, or for any personal gratification.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 103:9. He will not always chide — He will not contend with us continually. He has often reproved, often punished us; but his mercy ever rejoiced over judgment.
