PSALM 103
Praise for the LORD’s Mercies
A Psalm of David.
1 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 iniquities,
​​Who heals all your diseases,
4 ​​Who redeems your life from destruction,
​​Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
5 ​​Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
​​So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
​
6 ​​The LORD executes righteousness
​​And justice for all who are oppressed.
7 ​​He made known His ways to Moses,
​​His acts to the children of Israel.
8 ​​The LORD is merciful and gracious,
​​Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.
9 ​​He will not always strive with us,
​​Nor will He keep His anger forever.
10 ​​He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
​​Nor punished us according to our iniquities.
​
11 ​​For as the heavens are high above the earth,
​​So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;
12 ​​As far as the east is from the west,
​​So far has He removed 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;
​​As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16 ​​For the wind passes over it, and it is gone,
​​And its place remembers it no more.[fn]
17 ​​But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting
​​On those who fear Him,
​​And His righteousness to children’s children,
18 ​​To such as keep His covenant,
​​And to those who remember His commandments to do them.
​
19 ​​The LORD has established His throne in heaven,
​​And His kingdom rules over all.
​
20 ​​Bless the LORD, you His angels,
​​Who excel in strength, who do His word,
​​Heeding the voice of His word.
21 ​​Bless the LORD, all you His hosts,
​​You ministers of His, who do His pleasure.
22 ​​Bless the LORD, all His works,
​​In all places of His dominion.
​
​​Bless the LORD, O my soul!
