Psalms 103
Psalm 103
Of David.
1 O my soul, bless the Lord;and all that is in me, his holy name.
2O my soul, bless the Lord;
and forget not one of his benefits.
3He pardons all your sins,
he heals all your diseases.
4He ransoms your life from the pit,
he crowns you with kindness and pity.
5He gives you your heart’s desire,
renewing your youth like the eagle’s.
6The Lord executes justice -
and right for all who are wronged.
7He revealed his ways to Moses,
his acts to the children of Israel.
8Full of pity and grace is the Lord,
patient, and rich in kindness:
9he will not always chide,
nor cherish his anger forever.
10Not after our sins has he dealt with us,
nor requited us after our wickedness.
11For high as the heavens o’er the earth
is his love over those who fear him.
12Far as is east from the west
has he put our transgressions from us.
13As a father pities his children,
so the Lord pities those who fear him;
14for well he knows our frame,
he remembers that we are dust.
15A person's days are as grass;
blossoms like a flower of the meadow.
16At the breath of the wind it is gone,
and the place thereof knows it no more.
17But the love of the Lord is eternal,
and his kindness to children’s children,
18to those who keep his covenant
and mindfully do his behests.
19The Lord has set his throne in the heavens;
the whole world is under his sway.
20Bless the Lord, you angels of his,
mighty heroes performing his word.
21Bless the Lord, all you his hosts,
you servants who do his will.
22Bless the Lord, all you his works,
far as his sway extends.
O my soul, bless the Lord.
