Psalms 103

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 towards 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 fulfil 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!
