Psalms 103
103
A psalm of David.
1Let every part of me praise the Lord; let my whole being praise his holy character.
2Let every part of me praise the Lord; don't let me forget the wonderful things he's done for me.
3He forgives my sins, and he heals all my diseases.
4He saves me from death; he honors#103:4. Literally, “crowns.” me with trustworthy love and mercy.
5He fills my life with all that's good; he makes me young again, strong as an eagle.
6The Lord does what is right, and vindicates those who are exploited.
7He explained his ways to Moses: he told the people of Israel what he was going to do.
8The Lord is kind and gracious, not quick-tempered, and full of trustworthy love.
9He doesn't keep on accusing us; he doesn't stay angry with us forever.
10He does not punish us for our sins as he ought to; he does not pay us back for our wrongdoing as we deserve.
11For as high as the heavens are above the earth is the extent of his trustworthy love to those who honor him.
12As far as the east is from the west is how far the Lord has taken our sins away from us.
13Like a loving father, the Lord is kind and compassionate to those who follow him.
14For he knows how we are made; he remembers we are only dust.
15Human lifetimes are like grass: we blossom like flowers in a field,
16but then the wind blows and we are gone, disappearing without a trace.
17But the Lord's trustworthy love lasts for all eternity to those who accept him; his goodness to all generations,
18to those who keep his agreement and who remember to follow his commandments.
19The Lord has set up his throne in the heavens, and he rules over all.
20Praise the Lord, you angels, you powerful ones who do what he says, listening to what he tells you!
21Praise the Lord, you heavenly armies who serve him and carry out his will!
22Praise the Lord, everything in his creation, everyone under his rule, and let every part of me praise the Lord!

1My soul, praise Yahweh,
and all that is within me, praise His holy name. # Ps 30:4; 97:12; 104:1
2My soul, praise the Lord,
and do not forget all His benefits. # Dt 6:12; 8:11
3He forgives all your sin; # Is 43:25
He heals all your diseases. # Jr 30:17
4He redeems your life from the Pit; # Ps 49:15
He crowns you with faithful love and compassion. # Ps 5:12
5He satisfies you # Lit satisfies your ornament ; Hb obscure with goodness; # Ps 107:9
your youth is renewed like the eagle. # Is 40:31
6The Lord executes acts of righteousness
and justice for all the oppressed. # Ps 147:7
7He revealed His ways to Moses, # Ex 33:13
His deeds to the people of Israel. # Ps 78:11; 99:7
8The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger and rich in faithful love. # Ex 34:6; Nm 14:18; Neh 9:17
9He will not always accuse us
or be angry forever. # Is 57:16; Jr 3:12; Mc 7:19
10He has not dealt with us as our sins deserve
or repaid us according to our offenses. # Ezr 9:13; Lm 3:22
11For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is His faithful love

12As far as the east is from the west,
so far has He removed

13As a father has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him. # Mal 3:17
14For He knows what we are made of,
remembering that we are dust. # Gn 3:19; Ps 78:39
15As for man, his days are like grass —
he blooms like a flower of the field; # Jb 14:2; 1Pt 1:24
16when the wind passes over it, it vanishes,
and its place is no longer known. # Lit place no longer knows it # Is 40:6-7
17But from eternity to eternity
the Lord’s faithful love is toward those who fear Him,
and His righteousness toward the grandchildren # Ex 20:6; Dt 5:10; Ps 25:6
18of those who keep His covenant,
who remember to observe His precepts. # Dt 7:9; Ps 25:10
19The Lord has established His throne in heaven,
and His kingdom rules over all. # Ps 11:4; 47:2
20Praise the Lord,
all His angels of great strength,
who do His word,
obedient to His command. # Ps 29:1; 148:2
21Praise the Lord, all His armies,
His servants who do His will. # 1Kg 22:19; Neh 9:6
22Praise the Lord, all His works
in all the places where He rules. # Ps 145:10
My soul, praise Yahweh!
