# Chapter 103
|
||
1 Bless the Lord, O my soul;
|
||
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
|
||
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
|
||
And forget not all His benefits:
|
||
3 Who forgives all your iniquities,
|
||
Who heals all your diseases,
|
||
4 Who redeems your life from destruction,
|
||
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
|
||
5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
|
||
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
|
||
6 The Lord executes righteousness
|
||
And justice for all who are oppressed.
|
||
7 He made known His ways to Moses,
|
||
His acts to the children of Israel.
|
||
8 The Lord is merciful and gracious,
|
||
Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.
|
||
9 He will not always strive with us,
|
||
Nor will He keep His anger forever.
|
||
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
|
||
Nor punished us according to our iniquities.
|
||
11 For as the heavens are high above the earth,
|
||
So great is His mercy toward those who 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 pities his children,
|
||
So the Lord pities those who fear Him.
|
||
14 For He knows our frame;
|
||
He remembers that we are dust.
|
||
15 As for man, his days are like grass;
|
||
As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
|
||
16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone,
|
||
And its place remembers it no more.
|
||
17 But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting
|
||
On those who fear Him,
|
||
And His righteousness to children’s children,
|
||
18 To such as keep His covenant,
|
||
And to those who remember His commandments to do them.
|
||
19 The Lord has established His throne in heaven,
|
||
And His kingdom rules over all.
|
||
20 Bless the Lord, you His angels,
|
||
Who excel in strength, who do His word,
|
||
Heeding the voice of His word.
|
||
21 Bless the Lord, all you His hosts,
|
||
You ministers of His, who do His pleasure.
|
||
22 Bless the Lord, all His works,
|
||
In all places of His dominion.
|
||
Bless the Lord, O my soul! |
