Psalms 103
103
Psalm 103
By David.
1Praise the Lord, my soul!
Praise his holy name, all that is within me.
2Praise the Lord, my soul,
and never forget all the good he has done:
3He is the one who forgives all your sins,
the one who heals all your diseases,
4the one who rescues your life from the pit,
the one who crowns you with mercy and compassion,
5the one who fills your life with blessings
so that you become young again like an eagle.
6The Lord does what is right and fair
for all who are oppressed.
7He let Moses know his ways.
He let the Israelites know the things he had done.
8The Lord is compassionate, merciful, patient,
and always ready to forgive.
9He will not always accuse us of wrong
or be angry ⌞with us⌟ forever.
10He has not treated us as we deserve for our sins
or paid us back for our wrongs.
11As high as the heavens are above the earth—
that is how vast his mercy is toward those who fear him.
12As far as the east is from the west—
that is how far he has removed our rebellious acts from himself.
13As a father has compassion for his children,
so the Lord has compassion for those who fear him.
14He certainly knows what we are made of.
He bears in mind that we are dust.
15Human life is as short-lived as grass.
It blossoms like a flower in the field.
16When the wind blows over the flower, it disappears,
and there is no longer any sign of it.
17But from everlasting to everlasting,
the Lord’s mercy is on those who fear him.
His righteousness belongs
to their children and grandchildren,
18to those who are faithful to his promise,#103:18 Or “covenant.”
to those who remember to follow his guiding principles.
19The Lord has set his throne in heaven.
His kingdom rules everything.
20Praise the Lord, all his angels,
you mighty beings who carry out his orders
and are ready to obey his spoken orders.
21Praise the Lord, all his armies,
his servants who carry out his will.
22Praise the Lord, all his creatures
in all the places of his empire.
Praise the Lord, my soul!

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.
