Psalm 103
- 1
- Psalm 103 Of David.
- 1
- Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
- 2
- Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits--
- 3
- who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,
- 4
- who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,
- 5
- who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
- 6
- The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.
- 7
- He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel:
- 8
- The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.
- 9
- He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever;
- 10
- he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.
- 11
- For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;
- 12
- as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
- 13
- As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;
- 14
- for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.
- 15
- As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field;
- 16
- the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.
- 17
- But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD's love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children--
- 18
- with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.
- 19
- The LORD has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all.
- 20
- Praise the LORD, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word.
- 21
- Praise the LORD, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will.
- 22
- Praise the LORD, all his works everywhere in his dominion. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

- 6
- who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth?

- 5
- "Because of the oppression of the weak and the groaning of the needy, I will now arise," says the LORD. "I will protect them from those who malign them."
