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