Psalm 103

¹Bless the Lord, O my soul, *and all that is within me, bless his holy Name.

²Bless the Lord, O my soul, *and forget not all his benefits.

³He forgives all your sins *and heals all your infirmities;

⁴He redeems your life from the grave *and crowns you with mercy and loving-kindness;

⁵He satisfies you with good things, *and your youth is renewed like an eagle’s.

⁶The Lord executes righteousness *and judgment for all who are oppressed.

⁷He made his ways known to Moses *and his works to the children of Israel.

⁸The Lord is full of compassion and mercy, *slow to anger and of great kindness.

⁹He will not always accuse us, *nor will he keep his anger for ever.

¹⁰He has not dealt with us according to our sins, *nor rewarded us according to our wickedness.

¹¹For as the heavens are high above the earth, *so is his mercy great upon those who fear him.

¹²As far as the east is from the west, *so far has he removed our sins from us.

¹³As a father cares for his children, *so does the Lord care for those who fear him.

¹⁴For he himself knows whereof we are made; *he remembers that we are but dust.

¹⁵Our days are like the grass; *we flourish like a flower of the field;

¹⁶When the wind goes over it, it is gone, *and its place shall know it no more.

¹⁷But the merciful goodness of the Lord endures for ever on those who fear him, *and his righteousness on children’s children;

¹⁸On those who keep his covenant *and remember his commandments and do them.

¹⁹The Lord has set his throne in heaven, *and his kingship has dominion over all.

²⁰Bless the Lord, you angels of his, you mighty ones who do his bidding, *and hearken to the voice of his word.

²¹Bless the Lord, all you his hosts, *you ministers of his who do his will.

²²Bless the Lord, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion; *bless the Lord, O my soul.
