Psalm 103
103
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!

PSALM 103
A Psalm of David.
1Bless Jehovah, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name! 2Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who healeth all thy diseases; 4Who redeemeth thy life from the pit, who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies; 5Who satisfieth thine old age with good things; thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6Jehovah executeth righteousness and justice for all that are oppressed. 7He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. 8Jehovah is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving-kindness. 9He will not always chide, neither will he keep his anger for ever. 10He hath not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 11For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving-kindness toward them that fear him. 12As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. 13As a father pitieth his children, so Jehovah pitieth them that fear him. 14For himself knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. 15As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth: 16For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone, and the place thereof knoweth it no more. 17But the loving-kindness of Jehovah is from everlasting and to everlasting, upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children, 18To such as keep his covenant and to those that remember his precepts to do them.
19Jehovah hath established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom ruleth over all. 20Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, mighty in strength, that execute his word, hearkening unto the voice of his word. 21Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his that do his will. 22Bless Jehovah, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless Jehovah, O my soul!
