Psalm 103:1–22

^1yBless the Lord, O my soul,

and all that is within me,

bless his holy name!

^2yBless the Lord, O my soul,

and ^zforget not all his benefits,

³who ^aforgives all your iniquity,

who ^bheals all your diseases,

⁴who ^credeems your life from the pit,

who ^dcrowns you with steadfast love and mercy,

⁵who ^esatisfies you with good

so that your youth is renewed like ^fthe eagle’s.

⁶The Lord works ^grighteousness

and justice for all who are oppressed.

⁷He made known his ^hways to Moses,

his ⁱacts to the people of Israel.

⁸The Lord is ^jmerciful and gracious,

slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

^9kHe will not always chide,

nor will he ^lkeep his anger forever.

¹⁰He does not deal with us ^maccording to our sins,

nor repay us according to our iniquities.

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

so great is his ^osteadfast love toward ^pthose who fear him;

¹²as far as the east is from the west,

so far does he ^qremove our transgressions from us.

¹³As ^ra father shows compassion to his children,

so the Lord shows compassion ^pto those who fear him.

¹⁴For he knows our frame;¹

he ^sremembers that we are dust.

¹⁵As for man, his days are like ^tgrass;

he flourishes like ^ua flower of the field;

¹⁶for ^vthe wind passes over it, and ^wit is gone,

and ^xits place knows it no more.

¹⁷But ^ythe steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on ^pthose who fear him,

and his righteousness to ^zchildren’s children,

¹⁸to those who ^akeep his covenant

and ^bremember to do his commandments.

¹⁹The Lord has ^cestablished his throne in the heavens,

and his ^dkingdom rules over all.

²⁰Bless the Lord, O you ^ehis angels,

you ^fmighty ones who ^gdo his word,

obeying the voice of his word!

²¹Bless the Lord, all his ^hhosts,

his ⁱministers, who do his will!

^22jBless the Lord, all his works,

in all places of his dominion.

^kBless the Lord, O my soul!
