103:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And all that dwells within me, bless His holy name. |
103:2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget none of His benefits; |
103:3 Who pardons all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases; |
103:4 Who redeems your life from the pit, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; |
103:5 Who satisfies your years with good things, So that your youth renews like the eagle. |
103:6 The LORD performs righteous deeds And judgments for all who feel oppressed. |
103:7 He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel. |
103:8 The LORD shows compassion and graciousness, Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness. |
103:9 He will not always strive with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever. |
103:10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. |
103:11 For as high as the heavens extend high above the earth, So great does He demonstrate His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him. |
103:12 As far as the east extends from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. |
103:13 Just as a father has compassion on his children, So the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him. |
103:14 For He Himself knows our frame; He knows that we consist of dust. |
103:15 As for man, his days resemble the brevity of grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. |
103:16 When the wind has passed over it, it exists no more, And its place acknowledges it no longer. |
103:17 But the lovingkindness of the LORD extends from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, And His righteousness to children's children, |
103:18 To those who keep His covenant And remember His precepts to do them. |
103:19 The LORD has established His throne in the heavens, And His sovereignty rules over all. |
103:20 Bless the LORD, you His angels, Mighty in strength, who perform His word, Obeying the voice of His word! |
103:21 Bless the LORD, all you His hosts, You who serve Him, doing His will. |
103:22 Bless the LORD, all you works of His, In all places of His dominion; Bless the LORD, O my soul! |
