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
(By David.)
The Lord's Wonderful Love
1With all my heart
I praise the Lord,
and with all that I am
I praise his holy name!
2With all my heart
I praise the Lord!
I will never forget
how kind he has been.
3The Lord forgives our sins,
heals us when we are sick,
4and protects us from death.
His kindness and love
are a crown on our heads.
5Each day that we live,#103.5 Each … live: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text.
he provides for our needs
and gives us the strength
of a young eagle.
6For all who are mistreated,
the Lord brings justice.
7He taught his Law to Moses
and showed all Israel
what he could do.
8 #
Jas 5.11. The Lord is merciful!
He is kind and patient,
and his love never fails.
9The Lord won't always be angry
and point out our sins;
10he doesn't punish us
as our sins deserve.
11How great is God's love for all
who worship him?
Greater than the distance
between heaven and earth!
12How far has the Lord taken
our sins from us?
Farther than the distance
from east to west!
13Just as parents are kind
to their children,
the Lord is kind
to all who worship him,
14because he knows
we are made of dust.
15We humans are like grass
or wild flowers
that quickly bloom.
16But a scorching wind blows,
and they quickly wither
to be forever forgotten.
17The Lord is always kind
to those who worship him,
and he keeps his promises
to their descendants
18who faithfully obey him.
19God has set up his kingdom
in heaven, and he rules
the whole creation.
20All of you mighty angels,
who obey God's commands,
come and praise your Lord!
21All of you thousands
who serve and obey God,
come and praise your Lord!
22All of God's creation
and all that he rules,
come and praise your Lord!
With all my heart
I praise the Lord!
