| Chapter 103 |
1 | Praise Yahweh, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name!
|
2 | Praise Yahweh, my soul, And don't forget all his benefits;
|
3 | Who forgives all your sins; Who heals all your diseases;
|
4 | Who redeems your life from destruction; Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
|
5 | Who satisfies your desire with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
|
6 | Yahweh executes righteous acts, And justice for all who are oppressed.
|
7 | He made known his ways to Moses, His deeds to the children of Israel.
|
8 | Yahweh is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness.
|
9 | He will not always accuse; Neither will he stay angry forever.
|
10 | He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor rewarded us for our iniquities.
|
11 | For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is his lovingkindness toward those who fear him.
|
12 | As far as the east is from the west, So far has he removed our transgressions from us.
|
13 | Like a father has compassion on his children, So Yahweh has compassion on those who fear him.
|
14 | For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.
|
15 | As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
|
16 | For the wind passes over it, and it is gone. Its place remembers it no more.
|
17 | But Yahweh's lovingkindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, His righteousness to children's children;
|
18 | To those who keep his covenant, To those who remember to obey his precepts.
|
19 | Yahweh has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all.
|
20 | Praise Yahweh, you angels of his, Who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, Obeying the voice of his word.
|
21 | Praise Yahweh, all you hosts of his, You servants of his, who do his pleasure.
|
22 | Praise Yahweh, all you works of his, In all places of his dominion. Praise Yahweh, my soul. Psalm 104
