Psalms 103

2Bless the Lord, O my soul; and forget not all the praises of Him;

3Who pardoneth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases;

4Who redeemeth thy life from destruction: Who crowneth thee with mercy and kindness;

5Who satisfieth thy desire with good things that thy youth may be renewed like an eagle’s.

6It is the Lord, Who exerciseth mercy and judgment for all who were oppressed.

7He made known His ways to Moses—His pleasure to the children of Israel.

8He is the Lord gracious and merciful; slow to anger and abundant in kindness;

9He will not be angry to utter ruin, nor continue His wrath forever.

10He hath not dealt with us according to our sins; nor retributed to us according to our iniquities.

11For high as the heaven is from the earth; the Lord hath enlarged His mercy for them who fear Him.

12Far as the east is distant from the west, He hath removed from us our transgressions.

13As a father pitieth his children; the Lord hath pitied them who fear Him,

14because He knew our formation. O remember that we are dust.

15As for man, his days are like grass; like a flower of the field, so he may bloom.

16Because a blast of wind passed over it, it is gone. It shall no more know its place.

17But the mercy of the Lord is from age to age over them who fear Him: and his saving goodness over children’s children,

18for them who keep His covenant, and remember His commands to do them.

19The Lord hath established His throne in heaven, and His dominion is exercised over all.

20Bless the Lord, all ye His angels—ye mighty powers, who execute His word, on hearing the voice of His commands.

21Bless the Lord, all ye His armies—ye ministers of His, who perform His will.

22Bless the Lord all ye His works, in every place of His dominion. O my soul, bless thou the Lord.
