A psalm of David
103
📚Praise✭ the LORD, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
praise his holy name.
2 📚✭Praise the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits;
3 📚Who forgives✭ all your sins;
who heals✭ all your diseases;
4 📚Who redeems✭ your life
from destruction;
who crowns✭ you with loving
kindness and tender mercies;
5 📚Who satisfies✭ your mouth
with good things,
so that your youth is
renewed like the eagle’s.
6 📚✭The LORD administers
righteousness and justice
for all who are oppressed.
7 📚✭He made known his ways
to Moses,
his acts to the children
of Israel.
8 📚The LORD is merciful
and gracious,
slow to get angry,
and has abundant mercy.
9 📚He will not always contend,
nor will he retain his anger
forever.
10 📚✭He has not dealt with us
according to our sins,
or repaid us according to our
evil deeds.
11 📚✭For as the heavens are high
above the earth,
so great is his mercy
toward those who fear him.
12 📚As far as the east is from
the west,
so far he has removed
our transgressions from us.
13 📚✭Like a father pities
his children,
so the LORD pities those
who fear him.
14 📚For he knows how
we are formed,
he remembers that we
are dust.
15 📚As for man,
his days are
like grass.
He flourishes like a flower
of the field.
16 📚For the wind passes
over it, and it is gone,
and its place remembers it
no more.
17 📚✭But the mercy of the LORD
is from everlasting to
everlasting on those
who fear him,
and his righteousness
to children’s children,
18 📚✭To those who keep
his covenant,
and to those who remember
his commandments,
to do them.
19 📚✭The LORD has prepared his
throne in the heavens,
and his kingdom rules over all.
20 📚Praise the LORD,
you his angels,
who excel in strength,
who do what he says,
listening to the voice
of his word.
21 📚Praise the LORD,
all his hosts,
you ministers of his,
who fulfil his pleasure.
22 📚✭Praise the LORD, all his works
in all places of his dominion.
Praise the LORD, O my soul.
