Psalms 103

Bless the LORD, O My Soul

Of David.

1Bless the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget all His kind deeds —

2He who forgives all your iniquities and heals all your diseases,

3who redeems your life from the Pit and crowns you with loving devotion and compassion,

4who satisfies you with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

5The LORD executes righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.

6He made known His ways to Moses, His deeds to the people of Israel.

7The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion.

8He will not always accuse us, nor harbor His anger forever.

9He has not dealt with us according to our sins or repaid us according to our iniquities.

10For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His loving devotion for those who fear Him.

11As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.

12As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.

13For He knows our frame; He is mindful that we are dust.

14As for man, his days are like grass— he blooms like a flower of the field;

15when the wind passes over, it vanishes, and its place remembers it no more.

16But from everlasting to everlasting the loving devotion of the LORD extends to those who fear Him, and His righteousness to their children’s children —

17to those who keep His covenant and remember to obey His precepts.

18The LORD has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all.

19Bless the LORD, all His angels mighty in strength who carry out His word, who hearken to the voice of His command.

20Bless the LORD, all His hosts, you servants who do His will.

21Bless the LORD, all His works in all places of His dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul!
