103:1 Praise the Lord, O my soul. With all that is within me, praise his holy name. 103:2 Praise the Lord, O my soul. Do not forget all his kind deeds. 103:3 He is the one who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases, 103:4 who delivers your life from the Pit, who crowns you with his loyal love and compassion, 103:5 who satisfies your life with good things, so your youth is renewed like an eagle’s. 103:6 The Lord does what is fair, and executes justice for all the oppressed. 103:7 The Lord revealed his faithful acts to Moses, his deeds to the Israelites. 103:8 The Lord is compassionate and merciful; he is patient and demonstrates great loyal love. 103:9 He does not always accuse and does not stay angry. 103:10 He does not deal with us as our sins deserve; he does not repay us as our misdeeds deserve. 103:11 For as the skies are high above the earth, so his loyal love towers over his faithful followers. 103:12 As far as the eastern horizon is from the west, so he removes the guilt of our rebellious actions from us. 103:13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on his faithful followers. 103:14 For he knows what we are made of; he realizes we are made of clay. 103:15 A person’s life is like grass. Like a flower in the field it flourishes, 103:16 but when the hot wind blows, it disappears, and one can no longer even spot the place where it once grew. 103:17 But the Lord continually shows loyal love to his faithful followers and is faithful to their descendants, 103:18 to those who keep his covenant, who are careful to obey his commands. 103:19 The Lord has established his throne in heaven; his kingdom extends over everything. 103:20 Praise the Lord, you angels of his, you powerful warriors who carry out his decrees and obey his orders. 103:21 Praise the Lord, all you warriors of his, you servants of his who carry out his desires. 103:22 Praise the Lord, all that he has made, in all the regions of his kingdom. Praise the Lord, O my soul.
