Psalm 103:2–14

²Praise the Lord, my soul, 

and never forget all the good he has done: 

³He is the one who forgives all your sins, 

the one who heals all your diseases, 

⁴the one who rescues your life from the pit, 

the one who crowns you with mercy and compassion, 

⁵the one who fills your life with blessings 

so that you become young again like an eagle. 

⁶The Lord does what is right and fair 

for all who are oppressed. 

⁷He let Moses know his ways. 

He let the Israelites know the things he had done. 

⁸The Lord is compassionate, merciful, patient, 

and always ready to forgive. 

⁹He will not always accuse us of wrong 

or be angry ⸤with us⸥ forever. 

¹⁰He has not treated us as we deserve for our sins 

or paid us back for our wrongs. 

¹¹As high as the heavens are above the earth— 

that is how vast his mercy is toward those who fear him. 

¹²As far as the east is from the west— 

that is how far he has removed our rebellious acts from himself. 

¹³As a father has compassion for his children, 

so the Lord has compassion for those who fear him. 

¹⁴He certainly knows what we are made of. 

He bears in mind that we are dust.
