Psalms 103
1 Of David. Praise the LORD, my soul; let all that is within me praise his holy name.
2 Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget none of his benefits.
3 He forgives all your guilt and heals all your diseases.
4 He rescues your life from the pit and crowns you with steadfast love and compassion.
5 He satisfies your years with good things, and your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 The LORD does what is right and defends the cause of all who are oppressed.
7 He made his ways known to Moses, and his deeds to the Israelites.
8 The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and great in steadfast love.
9 He does not keep accusing forever or hold on to anger for all time.
10 He has not treated us as our sins deserve or repaid us according to our guilt.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love for those who fear him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far he has removed our transgressions from us.
13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.
14 For he knows how we are formed; he remembers that we are dust.
15 Human days are like grass; a person flourishes like a wildflower.
16 The wind passes over it, and it is gone; its place no longer recognizes it.
17 But the steadfast love of the LORD is upon those who fear him, from everlasting to everlasting, and his righteousness upon their children’s children,
18 upon those who keep his covenant and remember his precepts to obey them.
19 The LORD has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.
20 Praise the LORD, his angels, mighty in strength, who carry out his word, attentive to the sound of his word.
21 Praise the LORD, all his armies, his servants who do his will.
22 Praise the LORD, all his works, in every place under his rule. Praise the LORD, my soul.
