103 Bless
the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless
the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3 Who
forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4 Who
redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness
and tender mercies; 5 Who
satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like
the eagle's. 6 The
LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. 7 He
made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. 8 The
LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. 9 He
will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. 10 He
hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our
iniquities. 11 For
as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them
that fear him.
12
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions
from us. 13 Like
as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. 14 For
he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. 15 As
for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. 16 For
the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know
it no more. 17 But
the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that
fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children; 18 To
such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to
do them. 19 The
LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over
all. 20 Bless
the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments,
hearkening unto the voice of his word. 21 Bless
ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. 22 Bless
the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O
my soul.
