Psalms 103

¹Praise the LORD, my soul! All my being, praise his holy name!

²Praise the LORD, my soul, and do not forget how kind he is.

³He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases.

⁴He keeps me from the grave and blesses me with love and mercy.

⁵He fills my life with good things, so that I stay young and strong like an eagle.

⁶The LORD judges in favor of the oppressed and gives them their rights.

⁷He revealed his plans to Moses and let the people of Israel see his mighty deeds.

⁸The LORD is merciful and loving, slow to become angry and full of constant love.

⁹He does not keep on rebuking; he is not angry forever.

¹⁰He does not punish us as we deserve or repay us according to our sins and wrongs.

¹¹As high as the sky is above the earth, so great is his love for those who honor him.

¹²As far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our sins from us.

¹³As a father is kind to his children, so the LORD is kind to those who honor him.

¹⁴He knows what we are made of; he remembers that we are dust.

¹⁵As for us, our life is like grass. We grow and flourish like a wild flower;

¹⁶then the wind blows on it, and it is gone--- no one sees it again.

¹⁷But for those who honor the LORD, his love lasts forever, and his goodness endures for all generations

¹⁸of those who are true to his covenant and who faithfully obey his commands.

¹⁹The LORD placed his throne in heaven; he is king over all.

²⁰Praise the LORD, you strong and mighty angels, who obey his commands, who listen to what he says.

²¹Praise the LORD, all you heavenly powers, you servants of his, who do his will!

²²Praise the LORD, all his creatures in all the places he rules. Praise the LORD, my soul! Praise the LORD, my soul!
