Psalm 103

By David.

[103:1] Praise Yahweh, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name! [103:2] Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don't forget all his benefits; [103:3] who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases; [103:4] who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies; [103:5] who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. [103:6] Yahweh executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed. [103:7] He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the children of Israel. [103:8] Yahweh is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness. [103:9] He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever. [103:10] He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities. [103:11] For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him. [103:12] As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. [103:13] Like a father has compassion on his children, so Yahweh has compassion on those who fear him. [103:14] For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust. [103:15] As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. [103:16] For the wind passes over it, and it is gone. Its place remembers it no more. [103:17] But Yahweh's loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children's children; [103:18] to those who keep his covenant, to those who remember to obey his precepts. [103:19] Yahweh has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all. [103:20] Praise Yahweh, you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, obeying the voice of his word. [103:21] Praise Yahweh, all you armies of his, you servants of his, who do his pleasure. [103:22] Praise Yahweh, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion. Praise Yahweh, my soul!
