103:1  By David. Praise the LORD, O my soul! With all that is within me, praise his holy name!
103:2  Praise the LORD, O my soul! Do not forget all his kind deeds!
103:3  He is the one who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases,
103:4  who delivers your life from the Pit, who crowns you with his loyal love and compassion,
103:5  who satisfies your life with good things, so your youth is renewed like an eagle's.
103:6  The LORD does what is fair, and executes justice for all the oppressed.
103:7  The LORD revealed his faithful acts to Moses, his deeds to the Israelites.
103:8  The LORD is compassionate and merciful; he is patient and demonstrates great loyal love.
103:9  He does not always accuse, and does not stay angry.
103:10  He does not deal with us as our sins deserve; he does not repay us as our misdeeds deserve.
103:11  For as the skies are high above the earth, so his loyal love towers over his faithful followers.
103:12  As far as the eastern horizon is from the west, so he removes the guilt of our rebellious actions from us.
103:13  As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on his faithful followers.
103:14  For he knows what we are made of; he realizes we are made of clay.
103:15  A person's life is like grass. Like a flower in the field it flourishes,
103:16  but when the hot wind blows by, it disappears, and one can no longer even spot the place where it once grew.
103:17  But the LORD continually shows loyal love to his faithful followers, and is faithful to their descendants,
103:18  to those who keep his covenant, who are careful to obey his commands.
103:19  The LORD has established his throne in heaven; his kingdom extends over everything.
103:20  Praise the LORD, you angels of his, you powerful warriors who carry out his decrees and obey his orders!
103:21  Praise the LORD, all you warriors of his, you servants of his who carry out his desires!
103:22  Praise the LORD, all that he has made, in all the regions of his kingdom! Praise the LORD, O my soul!
