Psalm 103

¹Praise the LORD, my soul!

All that is within me, praise his holy name!

²Praise the LORD, my soul,

and don’t forget all his benefits,

³who forgives all your sins,

who heals all your diseases,

⁴who redeems your life from destruction,

who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies,

⁵who satisfies your desire with good things,

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

⁶The LORD executes righteous acts,

and justice for all who are oppressed.

⁷He made known his ways to Moses,

his deeds to the children of Israel.

⁸The LORD is merciful and gracious,

slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.

⁹He will not always accuse;

neither will he stay angry forever.

¹⁰He has not dealt with us according to our sins,

nor repaid us for our iniquities.

¹¹For as the heavens are high above the earth,

so great is his loving kindness towards those who fear him.

¹²As far as the east is from the west,

so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

¹³Like a father has compassion on his children,

so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.

¹⁴For he knows how we are made.

He remembers that we are dust.

¹⁵As for man, his days are like grass.

As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

¹⁶For the wind passes over it, and it is gone.

Its place remembers it no more.

¹⁷But the LORD’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him,

his righteousness to children’s children,

¹⁸to those who keep his covenant,

to those who remember to obey his precepts.

¹⁹The LORD has established his throne in the heavens.

His kingdom rules over all.

²⁰Praise the LORD, you angels of his,

who are mighty in strength, who fulfil his word,

obeying the voice of his word.

²¹Praise the LORD, all you armies of his,

you servants of his, who do his pleasure.

²²Praise the LORD, all you works of his,

in all places of his dominion.

Praise the LORD, my soul!
