Tehillim (Psa) 103
103
1By David:
Bless Adonai, my soul!
Everything in me, bless his holy name!
2Bless Adonai, my soul,
and forget none of his benefits!
3He forgives all your offenses,
he heals all your diseases,
4he redeems your life from the pit,
he surrounds you with grace and compassion,
5he contents you with good as long as you live,
so that your youth is renewed like an eagle’s.
6Adonai brings vindication and justice
to all who are oppressed.
7He made his ways known to Moshe,
his mighty deeds to the people of Isra’el.
8Adonai is merciful and compassionate,
slow to anger and rich in grace.
9He will not always accuse,
he will not keep his anger forever.
10He has not treated us as our sins deserve
or paid us back for our offenses,
11because his mercy toward those who fear him
is as far above earth as heaven.
12He has removed our sins from us
as far as the east is from the west.
13Just as a father has compassion on his children,
Adonai has compassion on those who fear him.
14For he understands how we are made,
he remembers that we are dust.
15Yes, a human being’s days are like grass,
he sprouts like a flower in the countryside —
16but when the wind sweeps over, it’s gone;
and its place knows it no more.
17But the mercy of Adonai on those who fear him
is from eternity past to eternity future,
and his righteousness extends
to his children’s children,
18provided they keep his covenant
and remember to follow his precepts.
19Adonai has established his throne in heaven;
his kingly power rules everything.
20Bless Adonai, you angels of his,
you mighty warriors who obey his word,
who carry out his orders!
21Bless Adonai, all his troops,
who serve him and do what he wants!
22Bless Adonai, all his works,
in every place where he rules!
Bless Adonai, my soul!

Bless the Lord, O My Soul
Of David.
1 # ver. 22; Ps. 104:1 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name!
2 # [See ver. 1 above] Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and #Deut. 6:12; 8:11forget not all his benefits,
3who #Ex. 34:7; Isa. 33:24; Matt. 9:2; Mark 2:5; [Luke 7:47] forgives all your iniquity,
who #Ps. 107:20; 147:3; Ex. 15:26; [Matt. 8:17]heals all your diseases,
4who #See Ps. 56:13 redeems your life from the pit,
who #[Ps. 5:12]crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
5who #Ps. 107:9 satisfies you with good
so that your youth is renewed like #Isa. 40:31the eagle’s.
6The Lord works #Ps. 146:7righteousness
and justice for all who are oppressed.
7He made known his #Ex. 33:13; [Ps. 25:4] ways to Moses,
his #[Ps. 78:11; Ex. 34:10]acts to the people of Israel.
8The Lord is #See Ps. 86:15merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
9 #
Isa. 57:16 He will not always chide,
nor will he #Ps. 30:5; Jer. 3:5, 12; Mic. 7:18keep his anger forever.
10He does not deal with us #Ezra 9:13according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.
11For #See Ps. 36:5 as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his #Ps. 117:2 steadfast love toward #ver. 13, 17; Luke 1:50those who fear him;
12as far as the east is from the west,
so far does he #[Isa. 38:17; 43:25; Mic. 7:19]remove our transgressions from us.
13As #Mal. 3:17 a father shows compassion to his children,
so the Lord shows compassion #[See ver. 11 above]to those who fear him.
14For he knows our frame;#103:14 Or knows how we are formed
he #Ps. 78:39remembers that we are dust.
15As for man, his days are like #Ps. 90:5 grass;
he flourishes like #See Job 14:2a flower of the field;
16for #Isa. 40:7 the wind passes over it, and #Ps. 37:36 it is gone,
and #See Job 7:10its place knows it no more.
17But #Ps. 25:6 the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on #[See ver. 11 above] those who fear him,
and his righteousness to #Ex. 20:5, 6children’s children,
18to those who #Deut. 7:9 keep his covenant
and #Ps. 19:8remember to do his commandments.
19The Lord has #Ps. 11:4; 93:2 established his throne in the heavens,
and his #Ps. 47:2; Dan. 4:17kingdom rules over all.
20Bless the Lord, O you #Ps. 148:2; [Luke 2:13] his angels,
you #Ps. 78:25 mighty ones who #Matt. 6:10do his word,
obeying the voice of his word!
21Bless the Lord, all his #Gen. 32:2; Josh. 5:14; 1 Kgs. 22:19 hosts,
his #Ps. 104:4; Dan. 7:10; Heb. 1:14ministers, who do his will!
22 #
Ps. 145:10 Bless the Lord, all his works,
in all places of his dominion.
# ver. 1, 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul!
