Psalm 103

¹ PRAISE the Lord, O my soul * and all that is within me praise his holy Name.

² Praise the Lord, O my soul * and forget not all his benefits;

³ Who forgiveth all thy sin * and healeth all thine infirmities;

⁴ Who saveth thy life from destruction * and crowneth thee with mercy and loving-kindness;

⁵ Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things * making thee young and lusty as an eagle.

⁶ The Lord executeth righteousness and judgement * for all them that are oppressed with wrong.

⁷ He shewed his ways unto Moses * his works unto the children of Israel.

⁸ The Lord is full of compassion and mercy * long-suffering, and of great goodness.

⁹ He will not alway be chiding * neither keepeth he his anger for ever.

¹⁰ He hath not dealt with us after our sins * nor rewarded us according to our wickednesses.

¹¹ For look how high the heaven is in comparison of the earth * so great is his mercy also toward them that fear him.

¹² Look how wide also the east is from the west * so far hath he set our sins from us.

¹³ Yea, like as a father pitieth his own children * even so is the Lord merciful unto them that fear him.

¹⁴ For he knoweth whereof we are made * he remembereth that we are but dust.

¹⁵ The days of man are but as grass * for he flourisheth as a flower of the field.

¹⁶ For as soon as the wind goeth over it, it is gone * and the place thereof shall know it no more.

¹⁷ But the merciful goodness of the Lord endureth for ever and ever upon them that fear him * and his righteousness upon children's children;

¹⁸ Even upon such as keep his covenant * and think upon his commandments to do them.

¹⁹ The Lord hath prepared his seat in heaven * and his kingdom ruleth over all.

²⁰ O praise the Lord, ye angels of his, ye that excel in strength * ye that fulfil his commandment, and hearken unto the voice of his words.

²¹ O praise the Lord, all ye his hosts * ye servants of his that do his pleasure.

²² O speak good of the Lord, all ye works of his, in all places of his dominion * praise thou the Lord, O my soul.
