Psalms 103 / 150
- 1
(Bless the Lord, O My Soul)Of David.
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name!
- 2
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits,
- 3
who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases,
- 4
who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
- 5
who satisfies you with good
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
- 6
The Lord works righteousness
and justice for all who are oppressed.
- 7
He made known his ways to Moses,
his acts to the people of Israel.
- 8
The Lord is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
- 9
He will not always chide,
nor will he keep his anger forever.
- 10
He does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.
- 11
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
- 12
as far as the east is from the west,
so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
- 13
As a father shows compassion to his children,
so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.
- 14
For he knows our frame;
he remembers that we are dust.
- 15
As for man, his days are like grass;
he flourishes like a flower of the field;
- 16
for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,
and its place knows it no more.
- 17
But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him,
and his righteousness to children's children,
- 18
to those who keep his covenant
and remember to do his commandments.
- 19
The Lord has established his throne in the heavens,
and his kingdom rules over all.
- 20
Bless the Lord, O you his angels,
you mighty ones who do his word,
obeying the voice of his word!
- 21
Bless the Lord, all his hosts,
his ministers, who do his will!
- 22
Bless the Lord, all his works,
in all places of his dominion.
Bless the Lord, O my soul!
