Psalms 103
1 (102-1) <For David himself.> Bless the Lord, O my soul: and let all that is within me bless his holy name.2 (102-2) Bless the Lord, O my soul, and never forget all he hath done for thee.3 (102-3) Who forgiveth all thy iniquities: who healeth all thy diseases.4 (102-4) Who redeemeth thy life from destruction: who crowneth thee with mercy and compassion.5 (102-5) Who satisfieth thy desire with good things: thy youth shall be renewed like the eagle’s.
6 (102-6) The Lord doth mercies, and judgment for all that suffer wrong.7 (102-7) He hath made his ways known to Moses: his wills to the children of Israel.8 (102-8) The Lord is compassionate and merciful: longsuffering and plenteous in mercy.9 (102-9) He will not always be angry: nor will he threaten for ever.10 (102-10) He hath not dealt with us according to our sins: nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.11 (102-11) For according to the height of the heaven above the earth: he hath strengthened his mercy towards them that fear him.12 (102-12) As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our iniquities from us.13 (102-13) As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that fear him:14 (102-14) For he knoweth our frame. He remembereth that we are dust:15 (102-15) Man’s days are as grass, as the flower of the field so shall he flourish.16 (102-16) For the spirit shall pass in him, and he shall not be: and he shall know his place no more.17 (102-17) But the mercy of the Lord is from eternity and unto eternity upon them that fear him: And his justice unto children’s children,18 (102-18) To such as keep his covenant, And are mindful of his commandments to do them.
19 (102-19) The lord hath prepared his throne in heaven: and his kingdom shall rule over all.20 (102-20) Bless the Lord, all ye his angels: you that are mighty in strength, and execute his word, hearkening to the voice of his orders.21 (102-21) Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts: you ministers of his that do his will.22 (102-22) Bless the Lord, all his works: in every place of his dominion, O my soul, bless thou the Lord.
