Psalm 103New King James Version
Praise for theLord’s Mercies
A Psalmof David.
103 Bless(A)theLord, O my soul;
And all that is within me,blessHis holy name!
2 Bless theLord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
3 (B)Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who(C)heals all your diseases,
4 Who redeems your life from destruction,
(D)Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
5 Who satisfies your mouth with goodthings,
So that(E)your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 TheLordexecutes righteousness
And justice for all who are oppressed.
7 (F)He made known His ways to Moses,
His acts to the children of Israel.
8 (G)TheLordismerciful and gracious,
Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.
9 (H)He will not always strivewith us,
Nor will He keepHis angerforever.
10 (I)He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor punished us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heavens are high above the earth,
Sogreat is His mercy toward those who fear Him;
12 As far as the east is from the west,
Sofar has He(J)removed our transgressions from us.
13 (K)As a father pitieshischildren,
SotheLordpities those who fear Him.
14 For He[a]knows our frame;
He remembers that wearedust.
15 As forman,(L)his daysarelike grass;
As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16 (M)For the wind passes over it, and it is[b]gone,
And(N)its place remembers it no more.
17 But the mercy of theLordisfrom everlasting to everlasting
On those who fear Him,
And His righteousness to children’s children,
18 (O)To such as keep His covenant,
And to those who remember His commandments to do them.
19 TheLordhas established His throne in heaven,
And(P)His kingdom rules over all.
20 (Q)Bless theLord, you His angels,
Who excel in strength, who(R)do His word,
Heeding the voice of His word.
21 Bless theLord, allyouHis hosts,
(S)You[c]ministers of His, who do His pleasure.
22 Bless theLord, all His works,
In all places of His dominion.
Bless theLord, O my soul!
