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