Psalms 103:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 103:1

1 Bless ^athe 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 ^aWho forgives all your iniquities,
Who ^bheals all your diseases,

4 Who redeems your life from destruction,
^aWho crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,

5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that ^ayour youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

6 The Lord executes righteousness
And justice for all who are oppressed.

7 ^aHe made known His ways to Moses,
His acts to the children of Israel.

8 ^aThe Lord is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.

9 ^aHe will not always strive with us,
Nor will He keep His anger forever.

10 ^aHe has not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor punished us according to our iniquities.
