Psalms 103

¹ A Psalm of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name!

² Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits,

³ who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases,

⁴ who redeems your life from the Pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,

⁵ who satisfies you with good as long as you live so that your youth is renewed like the eagles.

⁶ The LORD works vindication and justice for all who are oppressed.

⁷ He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to the people of Israel.

⁸ The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

⁹ He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger for ever.

¹⁰ He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor requite us according to our iniquities.

¹¹ For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;

¹² as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.

¹³ As a father pities his children, so the LORD pities those who fear him.

¹⁴ For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.

¹⁵ As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field;

¹⁶ for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more.

¹⁷ But the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon those who fear him, and his righteousness to children's children,

¹⁸ to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments.

¹⁹ The LORD has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.

²⁰ Bless the LORD, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, hearkening to the voice of his word!

²¹ Bless the LORD, all his hosts, his ministers that do his will!

²² Bless the LORD, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul!
