Psalms 103

Thomson(i) 1 By David. Bless the Lord, my soul; and all within me, his holy name. 2 Bless the Lord, my soul; and forget not all the praises of him; 3 who pardoneth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4 who redeemeth thy life from destruction: who crowneth thee with mercy and kindness; 5 who satisfieth thy desire with good things that thy youth may be renewed like an eagle's. 6 It is the Lord, who exerciseth mercy and judgment for all who were oppressed. 7 He made known his ways to Moses; his pleasure to the children of Israel. 8 He is the Lord gracious and merciful; slow to anger and abundant in kindness; 9 he will not be angry to utter ruin, nor continue his wrath forever. 10 He hath not dealt with us according to our sins; nor retributed to us according to our iniquities. 11 For high as the heaven is from the earth; the Lord hath enlarged his mercy for them who fear him. 12 Far as the east is distant from the west, he hath removed from us our transgressions. 13 As a father pitieth his children; the Lord hath pitied them who fear him, 14 because he knew our formation. O remember that we are dust. 15 As for man, his days are like grass; like a flower of the field, so he may bloom. 16 Because a blast of wind passed over it, it is gone. It shall no more know its place. 17 But the mercy of the Lord is from age to age over them who fear him: and his saving goodness over children's children, 18 for them who keep his covenant, and remember his commands to do them. 19 The Lord hath established his throne in heaven, and his dominion is exercised over all. 20 Bless the Lord, all ye his angels; ye mighty powers, who execute his word, on hearing the voice of his commands. 21 Bless the Lord, all ye his armies: ye ministers of his, who perform his will. 22 Bless the Lord all ye his works, in every place of his dominion. O my soul, bless thou the Lord.
