# Chapter 103
|
||
1 Let all that I am praise the Lord;
|
||
with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name.
|
||
2 Let all that I am praise the Lord;
|
||
may I never forget the good things he does for me.
|
||
3 He forgives all my sins
|
||
and heals all my diseases.
|
||
4 He redeems me from death
|
||
and crowns me with love and tender mercies.
|
||
5 He fills my life with good things.
|
||
My youth is renewed like the eagle’s!
|
||
6 The Lord gives righteousness
|
||
and justice to all who are treated unfairly.
|
||
7 He revealed his character to Moses
|
||
and his deeds to the people of Israel.
|
||
8 The Lord is compassionate and merciful,
|
||
slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.
|
||
9 He will not constantly accuse us,
|
||
nor remain angry forever.
|
||
10 He does not punish us for all our sins;
|
||
he does not deal harshly with us, as we deserve.
|
||
11 For his unfailing love toward those who fear him
|
||
is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth.
|
||
12 He has removed our sins as far from us
|
||
as the east is from the west.
|
||
13 The Lord is like a father to his children,
|
||
tender and compassionate to those who fear him.
|
||
14 For he knows how weak we are;
|
||
he remembers we are only dust.
|
||
15 Our days on earth are like grass;
|
||
like wildflowers, we bloom and die.
|
||
16 The wind blows, and we are gone—
|
||
as though we had never been here.
|
||
17 But the love of the Lord remains forever
|
||
with those who fear him.
|
||
His salvation extends to the children’s children
|
||
18 of those who are faithful to his covenant,
|
||
of those who obey his commandments!
|
||
19 The Lord has made the heavens his throne;
|
||
from there he rules over everything.
|
||
20 Praise the Lord, you angels,
|
||
you mighty ones who carry out his plans,
|
||
listening for each of his commands.
|
||
21 Yes, praise the Lord, you armies of angels
|
||
who serve him and do his will!
|
||
22 Praise the Lord, everything he has created,
|
||
everything in all his kingdom.
|
||
Let all that I am praise the Lord. |
