103:1 Of David. Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.

103:2 Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits--

103:3 who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,

103:4 who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,

103:5 who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

103:6 The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.

103:7 He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel:

103:8 The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.

103:9 He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever;

103:10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.

103:11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;

103:12 as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

103:13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;

103:14 for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.

103:15 As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field;

103:16 the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.

103:17 But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD'S love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children--

103:18 with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.

103:19 The LORD has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all.

103:20 Praise the LORD, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word.

103:21 Praise the LORD, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will.

103:22 Praise the LORD, all his works everywhere in his dominion. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
