Psalms 103 ⓘ

103:1 By David. Praise the LORD, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name!

103:2 Praise the LORD, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits,

103:3 who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases,

103:4 who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies,

103:5 who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

103:6 The LORD executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed.

103:7 He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the children of Israel.

103:8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.

103:9 He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever.

103:10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities.

103:11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness towards those who fear him.

103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

103:13 Like a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.

103:14 For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.

103:15 As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

103:16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone. Its place remembers it no more.

103:17 But the LORD’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children’s children,

103:18 to those who keep his covenant, to those who remember to obey his precepts.

103:19 The LORD has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all.

103:20 Praise the LORD, you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, who fulfil his word, obeying the voice of his word.

103:21 Praise the LORD, all you armies of his, you servants of his, who do his pleasure.

103:22 Praise the LORD, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion. Praise the LORD, my soul!
