Psalm 103 (KJV)
A Psalm of David.
- 1Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
- 2Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
- 3Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
- 4Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
- 5Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
- 6The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
- 7He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
- 8The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
- 9He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
- 10He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
- 11For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
- 12As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
- 13Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
- 14For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
- 15As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
- 16For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
- 17But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children;
- 18To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
- 19The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
- 20Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
- 21Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
- 22Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.
