Psalm 103

Bless the LORD, O my soul,
And all that is within me, bless His holy name.
Bless the LORD, O my soul,
And forget none of His benefits;
Who 
pardons all your iniquities,
Who
 heals all your diseases;
Who 
redeems your life from the pit,
Who 
crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion;
Who 
satisfies your years with good things,
So that your youth is 
renewed like the eagle.
The LORD 
performs righteous deeds

And judgments for all who are oppressed.
He made known His ways to Moses,
His acts to the sons of Israel.
The LORD is 
compassionate and gracious, Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness.
He will not always
strive with us,
Nor will He 
keep His anger forever.
He has not
dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor
rewarded us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
So great is His
lovingkindness toward those who fear Him.
As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He 
removed our transgressions from us.
Just as a father has
compassion on his children,
So the LORD has
compassion on those who fear Him.
For He Himself
knows what we are made of;
He is
mindful that we are but dust.
As for man, his days are like grass;
As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
When the wind has passed over it, it is no more,
And its place acknowledges it no longer.
But the 
lovingkindness of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him,

And His righteousness to children's children,
To those who
keep His covenant
And
remember His precepts to do them.
The LORD has
established His throne in the heavens,
And His 
sovereignty rules over all.
Bless the LORD, you His angels,
Mighty in strength, who 
perform His word, Obeying the voice of His word!
Bless the LORD, all you His hosts,
You who
serve Him, doing His will.
Bless the LORD, all you works of His,
In all places of His dominion; 

Bless the LORD, O my soul!
