103:1 A psalm of David. I will praise the Lord. Deep down inside me, I will praise him. I will praise him, because his name is holy.
103:2 I will praise the Lord. I won’t forget anything he does for me.
103:3 He forgives all my sins. He heals all my sicknesses.
103:4 He saves my life from going down into the grave. His faithful and tender love makes me feel like a king.
103:5 He satisfies me with the good things I desire. Then I feel young and strong again, just like an eagle.

103:9 He won’t keep bringing charges against us. He won’t stay angry with us forever.
103:10 He doesn’t punish us for our sins as much as we should be punished. He doesn’t pay us back in keeping with the evil things we’ve done.
