Psalms 103:1-13 ▼

1 <V 102:1>To David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and bless his holy name, all that is within me.

2 <V 102:2>Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all his recompenses.

3 <V 102:3>He forgives all your iniquities. He heals all your infirmities.

4 <V 102:4>He redeems your life from destruction. He crowns you with mercy and compassion.

5 <V 102:5>He satisfies your desire with good things. Your youth will be renewed like that of the eagle.

6 <V 102:6>The Lord accomplishes mercies, and his judgment is for all who patiently endure injuries.

7 <V 102:7>He has made his ways known to Moses, his will to the sons of Israel.

8 <V 102:8>The Lord is compassionate and merciful, patient and full of mercy.

9 <V 102:9>He will not be angry forever, and he will not threaten for eternity.

10 <V 102:10>He has not dealt with us according to our sins, and he has not repaid us according to our iniquities.

11 <V 102:11>For according to the height of the heavens above the earth, so has he reinforced his mercy toward those who fear him.

12 <V 102:12>As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our iniquities from us.

13 <V 102:13>As a father is compassionate to his sons, so has the Lord been compassionate to those who fear him.
