Psalms 103

103 ¹ Bless our Father, my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name!

² Bless our Father, my soul, and forget none of his kindnesses— ³ who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases, ⁴ who redeems your life from the grave, who crowns you with covenant love and compassion, ^a a v4 Steadfast love: God's loyal, unfailing covenant love — the kind that never lets go. ⁵ who satisfies you with good things as long as you live, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

⁶ Our Father works righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed.

⁷ He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel. ⁸ Our Father is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in covenant love. ⁹ He will not always accuse, nor will he hold his anger forever. ¹⁰ He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. ¹¹ For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his covenant love toward those who fear him; ¹² as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our sins from us.

¹³ As a father's heart goes out to his children, so our Father's heart goes out to those who fear him. ¹⁴ For he knows how we are formed; he remembers that we are dust. ¹⁵ People's days are like grass; they flourish like a wildflower in the field; ¹⁶ for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more. ¹⁷ But the covenant love of our Father is from everlasting to everlasting toward those who fear him, and his righteousness to children's children, ¹⁸ to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments.

¹⁹ Our Father has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.

²⁰ Bless our Father, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, obeying his every word! ²¹ Bless our Father, all his armies, his servants who do his will! ²² Bless our Father, all his works, throughout his kingdom. Bless our Father, my soul!
