Chapter 103

  A Psalm of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.  

-

  Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:  

-

  Who forgiveth all thy iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;  

-

  Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies;  

-

  Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.  

-

  The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.  

-

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

-

  The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.  

-

  He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.  

-

  He hath not dealt with us according to our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.  

-

  For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy towards them that fear him.  

-

  As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.  

-

  Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.  

-

  For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.  

-

  As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.  

-

  For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and its place shall know it no more.  

-

  But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness to children's children;  

-

  To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.  

-

  The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.  

-

  Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening to the voice of his word.  

-

  Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.  

-

  Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.
