Psalm 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 forgiveth all thine iniquities;
who healeth all thy diseases;
4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good
things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6 The Lord
executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children
of Israel.
8 The
Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous
in mercy.
9 He
will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us
according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
12 As far as the east is from the
west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.
14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that
we are dust.
15 As
for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone;
and the place thereof shall know it no more.
17 But the mercy of the Lord
is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
18 To such as keep his covenant,
and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
19 The Lord
hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
20 Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his
word.
21 Bless
ye the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that
do his pleasure.
22 Bless
the Lord, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless
the Lord, O my soul.
