Psalm 103:2–14

²Bless the Lord, 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 steadfast love and mercy,^*

⁵who satisfies you with good as long as you live^q

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

⁶The Lord works vindication

and justice for all who are oppressed.

⁷He made known his ways to Moses,

his acts to the people of Israel.

⁸The Lord is merciful and gracious,

slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.^*

⁹He will not always accuse,

nor will he keep his anger forever.^*

¹⁰He does not deal with us according to our sins

nor repay us according to our iniquities.^*

¹¹For as the heavens are high above the earth,

so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;^*

¹²as far as the east is from the west,

so far he removes our transgressions from us.^*

¹³As a father has compassion for his children,

so the Lord has compassion for those who fear him.^*

¹⁴For he knows how we were made;

he remembers that we are dust.^*
