Psalm 103:1–22

¹Praise the Lord,^d my soul;^e

all my inmost being, praise his holy name.^f

²Praise the Lord,^g my soul,

and forget not^h all his benefits—

³who forgives all your sinsⁱ

and heals^j all your diseases,

⁴who redeems your life^k from the pit

and crowns you with love and compassion,^l

⁵who satisfies^m your desires with good things

so that your youth is renewedⁿ like the eagle’s.^o

⁶The Lord works righteousness^p

and justice for all the oppressed.^q

⁷He made known^r his ways^s to Moses,

his deeds^t to the people of Israel:

⁸The Lord is compassionate and gracious,^u

slow to anger, abounding in love.

⁹He will not always accuse,

nor will he harbor his anger forever;^v

¹⁰he does not treat us as our sins deserve^w

or repay us according to our iniquities.

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

so great is his love^x for those who fear him;^y

¹²as far as the east is from the west,

so far has he removed our transgressions^z from us.

¹³As a father has compassion^a on his children,

so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;

¹⁴for he knows how we are formed,^b

he remembers that we are dust.^c

¹⁵The life of mortals is like grass,^d

they flourish like a flower^e of the field;

¹⁶the wind blows^f over it and it is gone,

and its place^g remembers it no more.

¹⁷But from everlasting to everlasting

the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,

and his righteousness with their children’s children^h—

¹⁸with those who keep his covenantⁱ

and remember^j to obey his precepts.^k

¹⁹The Lord has established his throne^l in heaven,

and his kingdom rules^m over all.

²⁰Praise the Lord,ⁿ you his angels,^o

you mighty ones^p who do his bidding,^q

who obey his word.

²¹Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts,^r

you his servants^s who do his will.

²²Praise the Lord, all his works^t

everywhere in his dominion.

Praise the Lord, my soul.^u
