Psalms 103 / 150
- 1Praise the LORD , O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
- 2Praise the LORD , O my soul, and forget not all his benefits-
- 3who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,
- 4who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,
- 5who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
- 6The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.
- 7He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel:
- 8The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.
- 9He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever;
- 10he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.
- 11For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;
- 12as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
- 13As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;
- 14for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.
- 15As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field;
- 16the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.
- 17But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD's love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children-
- 18with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.
- 19The LORD has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all.
- 20Praise the LORD , you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word.
- 21Praise the LORD , all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will.
- 22Praise the LORD , all his works everywhere in his dominion. Praise the LORD , O my soul.
