Chapter 103
1 Praise the LORD , my soul ! All that is within me , praise his holy name !
2 Praise the LORD , my soul , and don’t forget all his benefits ,
3 who forgives all your sins , who heals all your diseases ,
4 who redeems your life from destruction , who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies ,
5 who satisfies your desire with good things , so that your youth is renewed like the eagle ’s.
6 The LORD executes righteous acts , and justice for all who are oppressed .
7 He made known his ways to Moses , his deeds to the children of Israel .
8 The LORD is merciful and gracious , slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness .
9 He will not always accuse ; neither will he stay angry forever .
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins , nor repaid us for our iniquities .
11 For as the heavens are high above the earth , so great is his loving kindness towards those who fear him .
12 As far as the east is from the west , so far has he removed our transgressions from us .
13 Like a father has compassion on his children , so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him .
14 For he knows how we are made . 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 . Its place remembers it no more .
17 But the LORD ’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him , his righteousness to children ’s children ,
18 to those who keep his covenant , to those who remember to obey his precepts .
19 The LORD has established his throne in the heavens . His kingdom rules over all .
20 Praise the LORD , you angels of his , who are mighty in strength , who fulfil his word , obeying the voice of his word .
21 Praise the LORD , all you armies of his , you servants of his , who do his pleasure .
22 Praise the LORD , all you works of his , in all places of his dominion . Praise the LORD , my soul !
