103:1 Bless the Lord, O my soul, And all that is within me, bless His holy name. 103:2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget none of His benefits; 103:3 Who pardons all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases; 103:4 Who redeems your life from the pit, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; 103:5 Who satisfies your years with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle. 103:6 The Lord performs righteous deeds And judgments for all who are oppressed. 103:7 He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel. 103:8 The Lord is compassionate and gracious, Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness. 103:9 He will not always strive with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever. 103:10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 103:11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, So great is His lovingkindness toward 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 Just as a father has compassion on his children, So the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him. 103:14 For He Himself knows our frame; He is mindful that we are but dust. 103:15 As for man, his days are like grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. 103:16 When the wind has passed over it, it is no more, And its place acknowledges it no longer. 103:17 But the lovingkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, And His righteousness to children's children, 103:18 To those who keep His covenant And remember His precepts to do them. 103:19 The Lord has established His throne in the heavens, And His sovereignty rules over all. 103:20 Bless the Lord, you His angels, Mighty in strength, who perform His word, Obeying the voice of His word! 103:21 Bless the Lord, all you His hosts, You who serve Him, doing His will. 103:22 Bless the Lord, all you works of His, In all places of His dominion; Bless the Lord, O my soul!
