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