Psalm 103

¹Praise the LORD, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name!

²Praise the LORD, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits,

³who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases,

⁴who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies,

⁵who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

⁶The LORD executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed.

⁷He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the children of Israel.

⁸The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.

⁹He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever.

¹⁰He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities.

¹¹For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him.

¹²As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

¹³Like a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.

¹⁴For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.

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

¹⁶For the wind passes over it, and it is gone. Its place remembers it no more.

¹⁷But the LORD’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children’s children,

¹⁸to those who keep his covenant, to those who remember to obey his precepts.

¹⁹The LORD has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all.

²⁰Praise the LORD, you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, obeying the voice of his word.
