Psalms 103 · Clearspring

Of David.

Bless the LORD, O My Soul

¹<Of David.> Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let everything in me give praise to his holy name.+ ²Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let not all his blessings go from your memory.+ ³He has forgiveness for all your sins; he takes away all your diseases;+ ⁴He keeps back your life from destruction, crowning you with mercy and grace.+ ⁵He makes your mouth full of good things, so that your strength is made new again like the eagle's.+ ⁶The Lord gives decisions in righteousness for all who are in trouble.+ ⁷He gave knowledge of his way to Moses, and made his acts clear to the children of Israel.+ ⁸The Lord is kind and full of pity, not quickly made angry, but ever ready to have mercy.+ ⁹His feeling will no longer be bitter; he will not keep his wrath for ever.+ ¹⁰He has not given us the punishment for our sins, or the reward of our wrongdoing.+ ¹¹For as the heaven is high over the earth, so great is his mercy to his worshippers.+ ¹²As far as the east is from the west, so far has he put our sins from us.+ ¹³As a father has pity on his children, so the Lord has pity on his worshippers.+ ¹⁴For he has knowledge of our feeble frame; he sees that we are only dust.+ ¹⁵As for man, his days are as grass: his beautiful growth is like the flower of the field.+ ¹⁶The wind goes over it and it is gone; and its place sees it no longer.+ ¹⁷But the mercy of the Lord is eternal for his worshippers, and their children's children will see his righteousness;+ ¹⁸If they keep his agreement, and have his laws in mind to do them.+ ¹⁹The Lord has made ready his high seat in the heavens; his kingdom is ruling over all.+ ²⁰Give praise to the Lord, you his angels, who are great in strength, doing his orders, and waiting for his voice.+ ²¹Give praise to the Lord, all you his armies; and you his servants who do his pleasure.+ ²²Give praise to the Lord, all his works, in all places under his rule: give praise to the Lord, O my soul.+

Bless the LORD, O My Soul
