Psalms 103

103

A psalm of David.

1Let all that I am praise the Lord;

with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name.

2Let all that I am praise the Lord;

may I never forget the good things he does for me.

3He forgives all my sins

and heals all my diseases.

4He redeems me from death

and crowns me with love and tender mercies.

5He fills my life with good things.

My youth is renewed like the eagle’s!

6The Lord gives righteousness

and justice to all who are treated unfairly.

7He revealed his character to Moses

and his deeds to the people of Israel.

8The Lord is compassionate and merciful,

slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.

9He will not constantly accuse us,

nor remain angry forever.

10He does not punish us for all our sins;

he does not deal harshly with us, as we deserve.

11For his unfailing love toward those who fear him

is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth.

12He has removed our sins as far from us

as the east is from the west.

13The Lord is like a father to his children,

tender and compassionate to those who fear him.

14For he knows how weak we are;

he remembers we are only dust.

15Our days on earth are like grass;

like wildflowers, we bloom and die.

16The wind blows, and we are gone—

as though we had never been here.

17But the love of the Lord remains forever

with those who fear him.

His salvation extends to the children’s children

18of those who are faithful to his covenant,

of those who obey his commandments!

19The Lord has made the heavens his throne;

from there he rules over everything.

20Praise the Lord, you angels,

you mighty ones who carry out his plans,

listening for each of his commands.

21Yes, praise the Lord, you armies of angels

who serve him and do his will!

22Praise the Lord, everything he has created,

everything in all his kingdom.

Let all that I am praise the Lord.

Praise for the Lord’s Mercies

A Psalm of David.

1Bless #Ps. 104:1, 35the Lord, O my soul;

And all that is within me, bless His holy name!

2Bless the Lord, O my soul,

And forget not all His benefits:

3#Ps. 130:8; Is. 33:24Who forgives all your iniquities,

Who #(Ex. 15:26); Ps. 147:3; (Is. 53:5); Jer. 17:14heals all your diseases,

4Who redeems your life from destruction,

#(Ps. 5:12)Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,

5Who satisfies your mouth with good things,

So that #(Is. 40:31)your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

6The Lord executes righteousness

And justice for all who are oppressed.

7#Ex. 33:12–17; Ps. 147:19He made known His ways to Moses,

His acts to the children of Israel.

8#(Ex. 34:6, 7; Num. 14:18); Deut. 5:10; Neh. 9:17; Ps. 86:15; Jer. 32:18; Jon. 4:2; James 5:11The Lord is merciful and gracious,

Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.

9#(Ps. 30:5; Is. 57:16); Jer. 3:5; (Mic. 7:18)He will not always strive with us,

Nor will He keep His anger forever.

10#(Ezra 9:13; Lam. 3:22)He has not dealt with us according to our sins,

Nor punished us according to our iniquities.

11For as the heavens are high above the earth,

So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;

12As far as the east is from the west,

So far has He #(2 Sam. 12:13; Is. 38:17; 43:25; Zech. 3:9; Heb. 9:26)removed our transgressions from us.

13#Mal. 3:17As a father pities his children,

So the Lord pities those who fear Him.

14For He knows our frame;

He remembers that we are dust.

15As for man, #Is. 40:6–8; James 1:10, 11; 1 Pet. 1:24his days are like grass;

As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

16#(Is. 40:7)For the wind passes over it, and it is gone,

And #Job 7:10its place remembers it no more.

17But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting

On those who fear Him,

And His righteousness to children’s children,

18#(Deut. 7:9); Ps. 25:10To such as keep His covenant,

And to those who remember His commandments to do them.

19The Lord has established His throne in heaven,

And #(Ps. 47:2; Dan. 4:17, 25)His kingdom rules over all.

20#Ps. 148:2Bless the Lord, you His angels,

Who excel in strength, who #(Matt. 6:10)do His word,

Heeding the voice of His word.

21Bless the Lord, all you His hosts,

#(Heb. 1:14)You ministers of His, who do His pleasure.

22Bless the Lord, all His works,

In all places of His dominion.

Bless the Lord, O my soul!
