Psalm 103:1–14

¹Bless Yahweh, O my soul,

and all within me, bless his holy name.

²Bless Yahweh, O my soul,

and do not forget all his benefits:

³who forgives all your iniquity,

who heals all your diseases,

⁴who redeems your life from the pit,

who crowns you with loyal love and mercies,

⁵who satisfies your life with good

so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

⁶Yahweh does deeds of justice

and judgments for all who are oppressed,

⁷who made known his ways to Moses,

his deeds to the people^b of Israel.

⁸Yahweh is compassionate and gracious,

slow to anger^c and abundant in loyal love.

⁹He does not dispute continually,

nor keep his anger forever.

¹⁰He has not dealt with us according to our sins,

nor repaid us according to our iniquities.

¹¹For as the heavens are high above the earth,

so his loyal love prevails over those who fear him.

¹²As far as east is from west,

so he has removed far from us the guilt of our transgressions.

¹³As a father pities^d his children,

so Yahweh pities^e those who fear him.

¹⁴For he knows our frame.^f

He remembers that we are dust.
