Psalms 103

Brenton(i) 1 (102:1) A Psalm of David. Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 (102:2) Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his praises: 3 (102:3) who forgives all thy transgressions, who heals all thy diseases; 4 (102:4) who redeems thy life from corruption; who crowns thee with mercy and compassion; 5 (102:5) who satisfies thy desire with good things: so that thy youth shall be renewed like that of the eagle. 6 (102:6) The Lord executes mercy and judgment for all that are injured. 7 (102:7) He made known his ways to Moses, his will to the children of Israel. 8 (102:8) The Lord is compassionate and pitiful, long-suffering, and full of mercy. 9 (102:9) He will not be always angry; neither will he be wrathful for ever. 10 (102:10) He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor recompensed us according to our iniquities. 11 (102:11) For as the heaven is high above the earth, the Lord has so increased his mercy toward them that fear him. 12 (102:12) As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. 13 (102:13) As a father pities his children, the Lord pities them that fear him. 14 (102:14) For he knows our frame: remember that we are dust. 15 (102:15) As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so shall he flourish. 16 (102:16) For the wind passes over it, and it shall not be; and it shall know its place no more. 17 (102:17) But the mercy of the Lord is from generation to generation upon them that fear him, and his righteousness to children's children; 18 (102:18) to them that keep his covenant, and remember his commandments to do them. 19 (102:19) The Lord has prepared his throne in the heaven; and his kingdom rules over all. 20 (102:20) Bless the Lord, all ye his angels, mighty in strength, who perform his bidding, ready to hearken to the voice of his words. 21 (102:21) Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his that do his will. 22 (102:22) Bless the Lord, all his works, in every place of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.
