| Chapter 103 |
1 | [A Psalm] of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, [bless] his holy name.
|
2 | Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
|
3 | Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
|
4 | Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
|
5 | Who satisfieth thy mouth with good [things; so that] thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
|
6 | The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
|
7 | He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
|
8 | The LORD [is] merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
|
9 | He will not always chide: neither will he keep [his anger] for ever.
|
10 | He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
|
11 | For as the heaven is high above the earth, [so] great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
|
12 | As far as the east is from the west, [so] far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
|
13 | Like as a father pitieth [his] children, [so] the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
|
14 | For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we [are] dust.
|
15 | [As for] man, his days [are] as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
|
16 | For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
|
17 | But the mercy of the LORD [is] from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
|
18 | To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
|
19 | The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
|
20 | Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
|
21 | Bless ye the LORD, all [ye] his hosts; [ye] ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
|
22 | Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.
