# Psalm 103 Of David.
<a id="1" name="1"></a>
1. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name!
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
2. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits,
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
3. who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases,
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
4. who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
5. who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagles.
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
6. The LORD works righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed.
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
7. He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to the people of Israel.
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
8. The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
9. He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger forever.
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
10. He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities.
<a id="11" name="11"></a>
11. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
<a id="12" name="12"></a>
12. as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
<a id="13" name="13"></a>
13. As a father shows compassion to his children, so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him.
<a id="14" name="14"></a>
14. For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.
<a id="15" name="15"></a>
15. As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field;
<a id="16" name="16"></a>
16. for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more.
<a id="17" name="17"></a>
17. But the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him, and his righteousness to childrens children,
<a id="18" name="18"></a>
18. to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments.
<a id="19" name="19"></a>
19. The LORD has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.
<a id="20" name="20"></a>
20. Bless the LORD, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, obeying the voice of his word!
<a id="21" name="21"></a>
21. Bless the LORD, all his hosts, his ministers, who do his will!
<a id="22" name="22"></a>
22. Bless the LORD, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul!
