1.8 KiB
Psalm 103The Forgiving God
-
My soul, bless the Lord, and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
-
My soul, bless the Lord, and do not forget all his benefits.
-
He forgives all your iniquity; he heals all your diseases.
-
He redeems your life from the Pit; he crowns you with faithful love and compassion.
-
He satisfies you with good things; your youth is renewed like the eagle.
-
The Lord executes acts of righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.
-
He revealed his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel.
-
The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in faithful love.
-
He will not always accuse us or be angry forever.
-
He has not dealt with us as our sins deserve or repaid us according to our iniquities.
-
For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his faithful love toward those who fear him.
-
As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
-
As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.
-
For he knows what we are made of, remembering that we are dust.
-
As for man, his days are like grass-- he blooms like a flower of the field;
-
when the wind passes over it, it vanishes, and its place is no longer known.
-
But from eternity to eternity the Lord's faithful love is toward those who fear him, and his righteousness toward the grandchildren
-
of those who keep his covenant, who remember to observe his precepts.
-
The Lord has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all.
-
Bless the Lord, all his angels of great strength, who do his word, obedient to his command.
-
Bless the Lord, all his armies, his servants who do his will.
-
Bless the Lord, all his works in all the places where he rules. My soul, bless the Lord!
