Chapter 103

  Praise Yahweh, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name!  

-

  Praise Yahweh, my soul, And don't forget all his benefits;  

-

  Who forgives all your sins; Who heals all your diseases;  

-

  Who redeems your life from destruction; Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies;  

-

  Who satisfies your desire with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.  

-

  Yahweh executes righteous acts, And justice for all who are oppressed.  

-

  He made known his ways to Moses, His deeds to the children of Israel.  

-

  Yahweh is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness.  

-

  He will not always accuse; Neither will he stay angry forever.  

-

  He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor rewarded us for our iniquities.  

-

  For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is his lovingkindness toward those who fear him.  

-

  As far as the east is from the west, So far has he removed our transgressions from us.  

-

  Like a father has compassion on his children, So Yahweh has compassion on those who fear him.  

-

  For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.  

-

  As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.  

-

  For the wind passes over it, and it is gone. Its place remembers it no more.  

-

  But Yahweh's lovingkindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, His righteousness to children's children;  

-

  To those who keep his covenant, To those who remember to obey his precepts.  

-

  Yahweh has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all.  

-

  Praise Yahweh, you angels of his, Who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, Obeying the voice of his word.  

-

  Praise Yahweh, all you hosts of his, You servants of his, who do his pleasure.  

-

  Praise Yahweh, all you works of his, In all places of his dominion. Praise Yahweh, my soul. Psalm 104
