# 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 iniquity,
|
|
who heals all your diseases,
|
|
4 who redeems your life from the pit,
|
|
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
|
|
5 who satisfies you with good
|
|
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
|
|
6 The Lord works righteousness
|
|
and justice for all who are oppressed.
|
|
7 He made known his ways to Moses,
|
|
his acts to the people of Israel.
|
|
8 The Lord is merciful and gracious,
|
|
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
|
|
9 He will not always chide,
|
|
nor will he keep his anger forever.
|
|
10 He does not deal with us according to our sins,
|
|
nor repay us according to our iniquities.
|
|
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
|
|
so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
|
|
12 as far as the east is from the west,
|
|
so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
|
|
13 As a father shows compassion to his children,
|
|
so the Lord shows compassion to 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;
|
|
he flourishes like a flower of the field;
|
|
16 for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,
|
|
and its place knows it no more.
|
|
17 But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him,
|
|
and his righteousness to children's children,
|
|
18 to those who keep his covenant
|
|
and remember to do his commandments.
|
|
19 The Lord has established his throne in the heavens,
|
|
and his kingdom rules over all.
|
|
20 Bless the Lord, O you his angels,
|
|
you mighty ones who do his word,
|
|
obeying the voice of his word!
|
|
21 Bless the Lord, all his hosts,
|
|
his ministers, who do his will!
|
|
22 Bless the Lord, all his works,
|
|
in all places of his dominion.
|
|
Bless the Lord, O my soul! |
