Psalms 103 : 1 - 22
Chapter 103
1 | Bless the 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 | Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases,
|
4 | Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
|
5 | Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
|
6 | The LORD executes righteousness And justice for all who are oppressed.
|
7 | He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel.
|
8 | The LORD is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.
|
9 | He will not always strive with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever.
|
10 | He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor punished us according to our iniquities.
|
11 | For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;
|
12 | As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
|
13 | As a father pities his children, So the LORD pities those who fear Him.
|
14 | For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust.
|
15 | As for man, his days are like grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
|
16 | For the wind passes over it, and it is gone, And its place remembers it no more.
|
17 | But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting On those who fear Him, And His righteousness to children's children,
|
18 | To such as keep His covenant, And to those who remember His commandments to do them.
|
19 | The LORD has established His throne in heaven, And His kingdom rules over all.
|
20 | Bless the LORD, you His angels, Who excel in strength, who do His word, Heeding the voice of His word.
|
21 | Bless the LORD, all you His hosts, You ministers of His, who do His pleasure.
|
22 | Bless the LORD, all His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul!
