Psalm 103:title–14

THE FORGIVING GOD

Of David.

¹My soul, bless the Lord,

and all that is within me, bless his holy name.^a

²My soul, bless the Lord,

and do not forget all his benefits.^b

³He forgives all your iniquity;^c

he heals all your diseases.^d

⁴He redeems your life from the Pit;^e

he crowns you with faithful love and compassion.^f

⁵He satisfies you^A with good things;^g

your youth is renewed like the eagle.^h

⁶The Lord executes acts of righteousness

and justice for all the oppressed.ⁱ

⁷He revealed his ways to Moses,^j

his deeds to the people of Israel.^k

⁸The Lord is compassionate and gracious,

slow to anger and abounding in faithful love.^l

⁹He will not always accuse us

or be angry forever.^m

¹⁰He has not dealt with us as our sins deserve

or repaid us according to our iniquities.ⁿ

¹¹For as high as the heavens are above the earth,

so great is his faithful love

toward those who fear him.^o

¹²As far as the east is from the west,

so far has he removed

our transgressions from us.^p

¹³As a father has compassion on his children,

so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.^q

¹⁴For he knows what we are made of,

remembering that we are dust.^r
