| 103:1 |
Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. |
| 103:2 |
Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits-- |
| 103:3 |
who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, |
| 103:4 |
who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, |
| 103:5 |
who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. |
| 103:6 |
The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed. |
| 103:7 |
He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel: |
| 103:8 |
The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. |
| 103:9 |
He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; |
| 103:10 |
he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. |
| 103:11 |
For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; |
| 103:12 |
as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. |
| 103:13 |
As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him; |
| 103:14 |
for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust. |
| 103:15 |
As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field; |
| 103:16 |
the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more. |
| 103:17 |
But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD'S love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children-- |
| 103:18 |
with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts. |
| 103:19 |
The LORD has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all. |
| 103:20 |
Praise the LORD, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word. |
| 103:21 |
Praise the LORD, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will. |
| 103:22 |
Praise the LORD, all his works everywhere in his dominion. Praise the LORD, O my soul. |
