Psalms 103

Bless the LORD, O My Soul

Of David.

¹Bless the LORD, O my soul;

all that is within me, bless His holy name.3

²Bless the LORD, O my soul,

and do not forget all His kind deeds—2

³He who forgives all your iniquities

and heals all your diseases,2

⁴who redeems your life from the Pit

and crowns you with loving devotion and compassion,2

⁵who satisfies you with good things,

so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.1

⁶The LORD executes righteousness

and justice for all the oppressed.1

⁷He made known His ways to Moses,

His deeds to the people of Israel.1

⁸The LORD is compassionate and gracious,

slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion.1

⁹He will not always accuse us,

nor harbor His anger forever.1

¹⁰He has not dealt with us according to our sins

or repaid us according to our iniquities.1

¹¹For as high as the heavens are above the earth,

so great is His loving devotion for those who fear Him.2

¹²As far as the east is from the west,

so far has He removed our transgressions from us.1

¹³As a father has compassion on his children,

so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.2

¹⁴For He knows our frame;

He is mindful that we are dust.1

¹⁵As for man, his days are like grass—

he blooms like a flower of the field;1

¹⁶when the wind passes over, it vanishes,

and its place remembers it no more.1

¹⁷But from everlasting to everlasting

the loving devotion of the LORD

extends to those who fear Him,

and His righteousness to their children’s children—1

¹⁸to those who keep His covenant

and remember to obey His precepts.1

¹⁹The LORD has established His throne in heaven,

and His kingdom rules over all.1

²⁰Bless the LORD, all His angels mighty in strength

who carry out His word,

who hearken to the voice of His command.1

²¹Bless the LORD, all His hosts,

you servants who do His will.1

²²Bless the LORD, all His works

in all places of His dominion.

Bless the LORD, O my soul!1
