Psalm 103
By David.
1 Praise
the LORD, my
soul!
All that is
within me, praise
his holy name!
2 Praise
the LORD, my
soul,
and don’t forget
all his benefits,
3 who forgives
all your sins,
who heals all
your diseases,
4 who
redeems your life
from destruction,
who crowns you
with loving kindness
and tender mercies,
5 who
satisfies your desire
with good things,
so that your
youth is renewed
like the eagle’s.
6 The
LORD executes
righteous acts,
and justice for
all who are
oppressed.
7 He
made known his
ways to Moses,
his deeds to
the children of
Israel.
8 The
LORD is merciful
and gracious,
slow to anger, and
abundant in loving
kindness.
9 He
will not always
accuse;
neither will
he stay angry
forever.
10 He
has not dealt
with us according
to our sins,
nor repaid us
for our iniquities.
11 For
as the heavens
are high above
the earth,
so great is
his loving kindness
toward those who
fear him.
12 As
far as the
east is from
the west,
so far has he
removed our
transgressions from
us.
13 Like
a father has
compassion on his
children,
so the LORD
has compassion on
those who fear
him.
14 For
he knows how
we are made.
He remembers that
we are dust.
15 As
for man, his days
are like grass.
As a flower
of the field,
so he flourishes.
16 For
the wind passes
over it, and
it is gone.
Its place remembers
it no more.
17 But
the LORD’s loving
kindness is from
everlasting to
everlasting with
those who fear
him,
his righteousness
to children’s
children,
18 to
those who keep
his covenant,
to those who
remember to obey
his precepts.
19 The
LORD has
established his
throne in the
heavens.
His kingdom rules
over all.
20 Praise
the LORD, you
angels of his,
who are mighty
in strength, who
fulfill his word,
obeying the voice
of his word.
21 Praise
the LORD, all
you armies of
his,
you servants of
his, who do
his pleasure.
22 Praise
the LORD, all
you works of
his,
in all places
of his dominion.
Praise the LORD,
my soul!
