Psalm 103

103:1

Of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul; all that is within me, bless His holy name.

103:2

Bless the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget all His kind deeds—

103:3

He who forgives all your iniquities and heals all your diseases,

103:4

who redeems your life from the Pit and crowns you with loving devotion and compassion,

103:5

who satisfies you with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

103:6

The LORD executes righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.

103:7

He made known His ways to Moses, His deeds to the people of Israel.

103:8

The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion.

103:9

He will not always accuse us, nor harbor His anger forever.

103:10

He has not dealt with us according to our sins or repaid us according to our iniquities.

103:11

For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His loving devotion for 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

As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.

103:14

For He knows our frame; He is mindful that we are dust.

103:15

As for man, his days are like grass—he blooms like a flower of the field;

103:16

when the wind passes over, it vanishes, and its place remembers it no more.

103:17

But from everlasting to everlasting the loving devotion of the LORD extends to those who fear Him, and His righteousness to their children’s children—

103:18

to those who keep His covenant and remember to obey His precepts.

103:19

The LORD has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all.

103:20

Bless the LORD, all His angels mighty in strength who carry out His word, who hearken to the voice of His command.

103:21

Bless the LORD, all His hosts, you servants who do His will.

103:22

Bless the LORD, all His works in all places of His dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul!
