Psalm 103

¹Bless the Lord, O my soul,

and all that is within me,

bless his holy name.

²Bless the Lord, O my soul,

and do not forget all his benefits—

³who forgives all your iniquity,

who heals all your diseases,

⁴who redeems your life from the Pit,

who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,

⁵who satisfies you with good as long as you live

so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

⁶The Lord works vindication

and justice for all who are oppressed.

⁷He made known his ways to Moses,

his acts to the people of Israel.

⁸The Lord is merciful and gracious,

slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

⁹He will not always accuse,

nor will he keep his anger forever.

¹⁰He does not deal with us according to our sins,

nor repay us according to our iniquities.

¹¹For as the heavens are high above the earth,

so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;

¹²as far as the east is from the west,

so far he removes our transgressions from us.

¹³As a father has compassion for his children,

so the Lord has compassion for those who fear him.

¹⁴For he knows how we were made;

he remembers that we are dust.

¹⁵As for mortals, their days are like grass;

they flourish like a flower of the field;

¹⁶for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,

and its place knows it no more.

¹⁷But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting

on those who fear him,

and his righteousness to children’s children,

¹⁸to those who keep his covenant

and remember to do his commandments.

¹⁹The Lord has established his throne in the heavens,

and his kingdom rules over all.

²⁰Bless the Lord, O you his angels,

you mighty ones who do his bidding,

obedient to his spoken word.

²¹Bless the Lord, all his hosts,

his ministers that do his will.

²²Bless the Lord, all his works,

in all places of his dominion.

Bless the Lord, O my soul.
