Psalms 103

Of David.

1Bless Yahweh, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

2Bless Yahweh, O my soul, and do not forget all his benefits.

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

4who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and compassion,

5who satisfies you with good; your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

6Yahweh carries out righteous acts and justice for all who are oppressed.

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

8Yahweh is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

9He will not contend forever, nor will he keep his anger for all time.

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

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

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

13As a father has compassion on his children, so Yahweh has compassion on those who fear him.

14For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.

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

16For the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more.

17But the steadfast love of Yahweh is from everlasting to everlasting toward those who fear him, and his righteousness extends to their children's children,

18to those who keep his covenant, and to those who remember his precepts, to do them.

19Yahweh has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.

20Bless Yahweh, his angels, mighty in strength, who carry out his word, heeding the voice of his word.

21Bless Yahweh, all his hosts, his ministers, who do his will.

22Bless Yahweh, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless Yahweh, O my soul.
