SEV Biblia, Chapter 103:13

Como el padre tiene misericordia de los hijos, tiene misericordia el SEÑOR de los que le temen.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 102:13

Verse 13. Like as a father pitieth his children ] This is a very emphatic verse, and may be thus translated: "As the tender compassions of a father towards his children; so the tender compassicns of Jehovah towards them that fear him." Nothing can place the tenderness and concern of God for his creatures in a stronger light than this. What yearnings of bowels does a father feel toward the disobedient child, who, sensible of his ingratitude and disobedience, falls at his parent's feet, covered with confusion and melted into tears, with, "Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, and am not worthy to be called thy son!" The same in kind, but infinitely more exquisite, does God feel when the penitent falls at his feet, and implores his mercy through Christ crucified.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 6-14 - Truly God is good to all: he is in a special manner good to Israel. He has revealed himself and his grace to them. By his ways we ma understand his precepts, the ways he requires us to walk in; and his promises and purposes. He always has been full of compassion. Ho unlike are those to God, who take every occasion to chide, and neve know when to cease! What would become of us, if God should deal so with us? The Scripture says a great deal of the mercy of God, and we all have experienced it. The father pities his children that are weak i knowledge, and teaches them; pities them when they are froward, an bears with them; pities them when they are sick, and comforts them pities them when they are fallen, and helps them to rise; pities the when they have offended, and, upon their submission, forgives them pities them when wronged, and rights them: thus the Lord pities thos that fear him. See why he pities. He considers the frailty of ou bodies, and the folly of our souls, how little we can do, how little we can bear; in all which his compassion appears.
