Psalms103

¹Of David . Bless the Lord, O my soul , and all that is within me, bless his holy name !

²Bless the Lord, O my soul , and forget not all his benefits ,

³who forgives all your iniquity , who heals all your diseases ,

⁴who redeems your life from the pit , who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy ,

⁵who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s .

⁶The Lord works righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed .

⁷He made known his ways to Moses , his acts to the people of Israel .

⁸The Lord is merciful and gracious , slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love .

⁹He will not always chide , nor will he keep his anger forever .

¹⁰He does not deal with us according to our sins , nor repay us according to our iniquities .

¹¹For as high as the heavens are above the earth , so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;

¹²as far as the east is from the west , so far does he remove our transgressions from us.

¹³As a father shows compassion to his children , so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.

¹⁴For he knows our frame ; he remembers that we are dust .

¹⁵As for man , his days are like grass ; he flourishes like a flower of the field ;

¹⁶for the wind passes over it, and it is gone , and its place knows it no more .

¹⁷But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him, and his righteousness to children’s children ,

¹⁸to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments .

¹⁹The Lord has established his throne in the heavens , and his kingdom rules over all .

²⁰Bless the Lord, O you his angels , you mighty ones who do his word , obeying the voice of his word !

²¹Bless the Lord, all his hosts , his ministers , who do his will !

²²Bless the Lord, all his works , in all places of his dominion . Bless the Lord, O my soul !
