Psalm 103:6 Context

◄ Psalm 103:6 ►

The LORD executes righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.

Context

6The LORD performs righteous deeds
And judgments for all who are oppressed.

7He made known His ways to Moses,
His acts to the sons of Israel.

8The LORD is compassionate and gracious,
Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness.

9He will not always strive with us,
Nor will He keep His anger forever.

10He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

11For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him.

12As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions from us.

13Just as a father has compassion on his children,
So the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.

14For He Himself knows our frame;
He is mindful that we are but dust.

15As for man, his days are like grass;
As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

16When the wind has passed over it, it is no more,
And its place acknowledges it no longer.

17But the lovingkindness of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him,
And His righteousness to children’s children,

18To those who keep His covenant
And remember His precepts to do them.

19The LORD has established His throne in the heavens,
And His sovereignty rules over all.

20Bless the LORD, you His angels,
Mighty in strength, who perform His word,
Obeying the voice of His word!

21Bless the LORD, all you His hosts,
You who serve Him, doing His will.

22Bless the LORD, all you works of His,
In all places of His dominion;
Bless the LORD, O my soul!
