Psalm 103
103
+[A Psalm+] of David.
1 BLESS (AFFECTIONATELY, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul; and all that is [deepest] within me, bless His holy name!
2 Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul, and forget not [one of] all His benefits–
3 Who forgives [every one of] all your iniquities, Who heals [each one of] all your diseases,
4 Who redeems your life from the pit and corruption, Who beautifies, dignifies, and crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercy;
5 Who satisfies your mouth [your necessity and desire at your personal age and situation] with good so that your youth, renewed, is like the eagle's [strong, overcoming, soaring]! [Isa. 40:31.]
6 The Lord executes righteousness and justice [not for me only, but] for all who are oppressed.
7 He made known His ways [of righteousness and justice] to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel.
8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and plenteous in mercy and loving-kindness. [James 5:11.]
9 He will not always chide or be contending, neither will He keep His anger forever or hold a grudge.
10 He has not dealt with us after our sins nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great are His mercy and loving-kindness toward those who reverently and worshipfully fear Him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.
13 As a father loves and pities his children, so the Lord loves and pities those who fear Him [with reverence, worship, and awe].
14 For He knows our frame, He [earnestly] remembers and imprints [on His heart] that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16 For the wind passes over it and it is gone, and its place shall know it no more.
17 But the mercy and loving-kindness of the Lord are from everlasting to everlasting upon those who reverently and worshipfully fear Him, and His righteousness is to children's children–[Deut. 10:12.]
18 To such as keep His covenant [hearing, receiving, loving, and obeying it] and to those who [earnestly] remember His commandments to do them [imprinting them on their hearts].
19 The Lord has established His throne in the heavens, and His kingdom rules over all.
20 Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, you His angels, you mighty ones who do His commandments, hearkening to the voice of His word.
21 Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, all you His hosts, you His ministers who do His pleasure.
22 Bless the Lord, all His works in all places of His dominion; bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul!

Psalms 103
103
The Love of God#Ps 103 Hebrew title: By David.
1Praise the LORD, my soul!
All my being, praise his holy name!
2Praise the LORD, my soul,
and do not forget how kind he is.
3He forgives all my sins
and heals all my diseases.
4He keeps me from the grave
and blesses me with love and mercy.
5He fills my life#103.5 Probable text my life; Hebrew unclear. with good things,
so that I stay young and strong like an eagle.
6The LORD judges in favour of the oppressed
and gives them their rights.
7He revealed his plans to Moses
and let the people of Israel see his mighty deeds.

Jas 5.11
The LORD is merciful and loving,
slow to become angry and full of constant love.
9He does not keep on rebuking;
he is not angry for ever.
10He does not punish us as we deserve
or repay us according to our sins and wrongs.
11As high as the sky is above the earth,
so great is his love for those who honour him.
12As far as the east is from the west,
so far does he remove our sins from us.
13As a father is kind to his children,
so the LORD is kind to those who honour him.
14He knows what we are made of;
he remembers that we are dust.
15As for us, our life is like grass.
We grow and flourish like a wild flower;
16then the wind blows on it, and it is gone —
no one sees it again.
17But for those who honour the LORD, his love lasts for ever,
and his goodness endures for all generations
18of those who are true to his covenant
and who faithfully obey his commands.
19The LORD placed his throne in heaven;
he is king over all.
20Praise the LORD, you strong and mighty angels,
who obey his commands,
who listen to what he says.
21Praise the LORD, all you heavenly powers,
you servants of his, who do his will!
22Praise the LORD, all his creatures
in all the places he rules.
Praise the LORD, my soul!
