103:1 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 benefits—
103:3 who pardons all your guilt, who heals all your diseases,
103:4 who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with mercy and compassion,
103:5 who satisfies your life with goodness, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle.
103:6 The Lord performs 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 mercy.
103:9 He will not always accuse. He will not keep his anger forever.
103:10 He does not treat us as our sins deserve. He does not repay us according to our guilty deeds.
103:11 Yes, as high as the heavens are above the earth, so powerful is his mercy toward those who fear him.
103:12 As distant as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our rebellious acts 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 how we were formed. He remembers that we are dust.
103:15 As for man, his days are like grass. Like a wildflower he blossoms.
103:16 Then the wind blows over it, and it is gone, and its place recognizes it no more.
103:17 But the Lord’s mercy is from eternity to eternity over those who fear him, and his righteousness is with their children’s children,
103:18 with those who keep his covenant, with those who remember his precepts in order to obey them.
103:19 The Lord has established his throne in the heavens, and his royal power rules over all.
103:20 Bless the Lord, you his angels, you strong warriors who obey his word by listening to what he says.
103:21 Bless the Lord, all his armies, you who minister to him, you who do whatever pleases him.
103:22 Bless the Lord, everything he has made in all places where he rules. Bless the Lord, O my soul.
