Psalms 103

¹Of David. Bless 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⌟ of Israel. ⁸Yahweh is compassionate and gracious, ⌞slow to anger⌟ 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 his children, so Yahweh pities those who fear him. ¹⁴For he knows our frame. He remembers that we are dust. ¹⁵As for man, his days are like the grass. As the flower of the field, so he blossoms. ¹⁶When the wind passes over it, it is no more, and its place knows it no longer. ¹⁷But the loyal love of Yahweh is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him, and his righteousness to their children’s children, ¹⁸to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his precepts. ¹⁹Yahweh has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all. ²⁰Bless Yahweh, you his angels, you mighty heroes who do his word by ⌞obeying⌟ the sound of his word. ²¹Bless Yahweh, all you his hosts, you his attendants who do his will. ²²Bless Yahweh, all his works, in all the places of his dominion. Bless Yahweh, O my soul.
