PSALM 103


103:1 A Psalm of David. Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name.

103:2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits;

103:3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquity; who healeth all Thy diseases;

103:4 Who redeemeth Thy life from the pit; who encompasseth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

103:5 Who satisfieth thine old age with good things; so that Thy youth is renewed like the eagle.

103:6 the Lord executeth righteousness, and acts of justice for all that are oppressed.

103:7 He made known His ways unto Moses, His doings unto the children of Israel.

103:8 the Lord is full of compassion and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

103:9 He will not always contend; neither will He keep His anger for ever.

103:10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins, nor requited us according to our iniquities.

103:11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward them that fear Him.

103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us.

103:13 Like as a father hath compassion upon his children, so hath the Lord compassion upon them that fear Him.

103:14 For He knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust.

103:15 As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

103:16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof knoweth it no more.

103:17 But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear Him, and His righteousness unto children's children;

103:18 To such as keep His covenant, and to those that remember His precepts to do them.

103:19 the Lord hath established His throne in the heavens; and His kingdom ruleth over all.

103:20 Bless the Lord, ye angels of His, ye mighty in strength, that fulfil His word, hearkening unto the voice of His word.

103:21 Bless the Lord, all ye His hosts; ye ministers of His, that do His pleasure.

103:22 Bless the Lord, all ye His works, in all places of His dominion; bless the Lord, O my soul.
