103:1  By David. Praise Yahweh, my soul! Praise his holy name, all that is within me.
103:2  Praise Yahweh, my soul, and never forget all the good he has done:
103:3  He is the one who forgives all your sins, the one who heals all your diseases,
103:4  the one who rescues your life from the pit, the one who crowns you with mercy and compassion,
103:5  the one who fills your life with blessings so that you become young again like an eagle.
103:6  Yahweh does what is right and fair for all who are oppressed.
103:7  He let Moses know his ways. He let the Israelites know the things he had done.
103:8  Yahweh is compassionate, merciful, patient, and always ready to forgive.
103:9  He will not always accuse us of wrong or be angry with us forever.
103:10  He has not treated us as we deserve for our sins or paid us back for our wrongs.
103:11  As high as the heavens are above the earth— that is how vast his mercy is toward those who fear him.
103:12  As far as the east is from the west— that is how far he has removed our rebellious acts from himself.
103:13  As a father has compassion for his children, so Yahweh has compassion for those who fear him.
103:14  He certainly knows what we are made of. He bears in mind that we are dust.
103:15  Human life is as short-lived as grass. It blossoms like a flower in the field.
103:16  When the wind blows over the flower, it disappears, and there is no longer any sign of it.
103:17  But from everlasting to everlasting, Yahweh’s mercy is on those who fear him. His righteousness belongs to their children and grandchildren,
103:18  to those who are faithful to his promise, to those who remember to follow his guiding principles.
103:19  Yahweh has set his throne in heaven. His kingdom rules everything.
103:20  Praise Yahweh, all his angels, you mighty beings who carry out his orders and are ready to obey his spoken orders.
103:21  Praise Yahweh, all his armies, his servants who carry out his will.
103:22  Praise Yahweh, all his creatures in all the places of his empire. Praise Yahweh, my soul!
