Psalms 103

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.●
