Psalm 103

Psalm 103

A Psalm of David.

^1aBless the Lord, O my soul:

And all that is within me, bless his holy name.

^2aBless the Lord, O my soul,

And ^bforget not all his benefits:

³Who ^cdforgiveth all thine iniquities;

Who ^dehealeth all thy diseases;

⁴Who ^fredeemeth ^gthy life from ^hdestruction;

Who ⁱcrowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

⁵Who satisfieth thy ^kmouth with good things;

So that thy youth is renewed ^llike the eagle’s.

⁶The Lord ^mexecuteth righteousness

And ^mjudgment for all that are oppressed.

⁷ⁿHe made known his ways unto Moses,

His acts unto the children of Israel.

^8oThe Lord is merciful and gracious,

Slow to anger, and ^†plenteous in mercy.

^9pHe will not always chide:

Neither will he ^qkeep his anger for ever.

^10rHe hath not dealt with us after our sins;

Nor ^srewarded us according to our iniquities.

^11tFor ^†as the heaven is high above the earth,

So ^ugreat is his mercy toward ^vthem that fear him.

¹²As far as the east is from the west,

So far hath he ^wremoved our transgressions from us.

^13xLike as a father pitieth his children,

So the Lord pitieth ^vthem that fear him.

¹⁴For he knoweth our ^yframe;

^zHe remembereth that we are ^adust.

¹⁵As for man, his days are as ^bgrass:

As a ^cflower of the field, so he ^bflourisheth.

¹⁶For ^ccthe wind passeth over it, and ^†it is gone;

And ^dthe place thereof shall know it no more.

¹⁷But ^ethe mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon ^vthem that fear him,

And his righteousness ^funto children’s children;

¹⁸To such as ^gkeep his covenant,

And to those that remember his ^hcommandments to do them.

¹⁹The Lord hath prepared ⁱhis throne in the heavens;

And ^khis kingdom ruleth over all.

²⁰Bless the Lord, ye ^lhis angels,

^†That excel in strength, that ^mdo his commandments,

Hearkening unto the voice of his word.

²¹Bless ye the Lord, all ye ^lnhis hosts;

Ye ^oministers of his, that do ^phis pleasure.

^22qBless the Lord, all his works

In all places of his dominion:

^rBless the Lord, O my soul.
