Psalms Chapter 103 1 A Psalm of David. Bless the Lord O my soul, and all that is within me bless His holy name.2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all His benefits.3 He forgives all your iniquities. He heals all your diseases.4 He redeems your life from ruin. He crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies.5 He satisfies your mouth with good. Your youth is renewed like the eagle's.6 The Lord works righteousness and judgment for all who are pressed down.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 rich in mercy.9 He will not always chasten, nor will He keep His anger forever.10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so 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, the Lord pities those who fear Him.14 For He knows our form. He remembers that we are dust.15 As for man, his days are like grass. He flourishes like a flower of the field.16 For the wind passes over it and it is gone. Its place will know it no more.17 But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him. His righteousness is to children's children.18 To those who keep His covenant and to those who remember to do His commandments.19 The Lord has prepared His throne in the heavens and His kingdom rules over all.20 Bless the Lord O angels of His who excel in strength, who do His command. But listen to the voice of His Word.21 Bless the Lord all His hosts, His ministers who do His pleasure.22 Bless the Lord all His works in all places of His rule. Bless the Lord, O my soul.
