📖 Psalms 103
-
1
By David. Praise the LORD, O my soul! With all that is within me, praise his holy name!
-
2
Praise the LORD, O my soul! Do not forget all his kind deeds!
-
3
He is the one who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases,
-
4
who delivers your life from the Pit, who crowns you with his loyal love and compassion,
-
5
who satisfies your life with good things, so your youth is renewed like an eagle’s.
-
6
The LORD does what is fair, and executes justice for all the oppressed.
-
7
The LORD revealed his faithful acts to Moses, his deeds to the Israelites.
-
8
The LORD is compassionate and merciful; he is patient and demonstrates great loyal love.
-
9
He does not always accuse, and does not stay angry.
-
10
He does not deal with us as our sins deserve; he does not repay us as our misdeeds deserve.
-
11
For as the skies are high above the earth, so his loyal love towers over his faithful followers.
-
12
As far as the eastern horizon is from the west, so he removes the guilt of our rebellious actions from us.
-
13
As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on his faithful followers.
-
14
For he knows what we are made of; he realizes we are made of clay.
-
15
A person’s life is like grass. Like a flower in the field it flourishes,
-
16
but when the hot wind blows by, it disappears, and one can no longer even spot the place where it once grew.
-
17
But the LORD continually shows loyal love to his faithful followers, and is faithful to their descendants,
-
18
to those who keep his covenant, who are careful to obey his commands.
-
19
The LORD has established his throne in heaven; his kingdom extends over everything.
-
20
Praise the LORD, you angels of his, you powerful warriors who carry out his decrees and obey his orders!
-
21
Praise the LORD, all you warriors of his, you servants of his who carry out his desires!
-
22
Praise the LORD, all that he has made, in all the regions of his kingdom! Praise the LORD, O my soul!
