PSALM 103
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Psalm of David.
1O thou my soul, bless God the Lord;
and all that in me is
Be stirred up his holy name
to magnify and bless.
2Bless, O my soul, the Lord thy God,
and not forgetful be
Of all his gracious benefits
he hath bestow'd on thee.
3All thine iniquities who doth
most graciously forgive:
Who thy diseases all and pains doth heal,
and thee relieve.
4Who doth redeem thy life, that thou
to death may'st not go down;
Who thee with loving-kindness doth
and tender mercies crown:
5Who with abundance of good things
doth satisfy thy mouth;
So that, ev'n as the eagle's age,
renewed is thy youth.
6God righteous judgment executes
for all oppressed ones.
7His ways to Moses, he his acts
made known to Isr'el's sons.
8The Lord our God is merciful,
and he is gracious,
Long-suffering, and slow to wrath,
in mercy plenteous.
9He will not chide continually,
nor keep his anger still.
10With us he dealt not as we sinn'd,
nor did requite our ill.
11For as the heaven in its height
the earth surmounteth far;
So great to those that do him fear
his tender mercies are:
12As far as east is distant from
the west, so far hath he
From us removed, in his love,
all our iniquity.
13Such pity as a father hath
unto his children dear;
Like pity shews the Lord to such
as worship him in fear.
14For he remembers we are dust,
and he our frame well knows.
15Frail man, his days are like the grass,
as flow'r in field he grows:
16For over it the wind doth pass,
and it away is gone;
And of the place where once it was
it shall no more be known.
17But unto them that do him fear
God's mercy never ends;
And to their children's children still
his righteousness extends:
18To such as keep his covenant,
and mindful are alway
Of his most just commandements,
that they may them obey.
19The Lord prepared hath his throne
in heavens firm to stand;
And ev'ry thing that being hath
his kingdom doth command.
20O ye his angels, that excel
in strength, bless ye the Lord;
Ye who obey what he commands,
and hearken to his word.
21O bless and magnify the Lord,
ye glorious hosts of his;
Ye ministers, that do fulfil
whate'er his pleasure is.
22O bless the Lord, all ye his works,
wherewith the world is stor'd
In his dominions ev'ry where.
My soul, bless thou the Lord.

Psalms 103
103
Praise to the God of Love
Of David.
1All that I am, praise the Lord.
Everything in me, praise his holy name.
2My whole being, praise the Lord.
Do not forget all his kindnesses.
3The Lord forgives me for all my sins.
He heals all my diseases.
4He saves my life from the grave.
He loads me with love and mercy.
5He satisfies me with good things.
He makes me young again, like the eagle.
6The Lord does what is right and fair
for all who are wronged by others.
7He showed his ways to Moses
and his miracles to the people of Israel.
8The Lord shows mercy and is kind.
He does not become angry quickly, and he has great love.
9He will not always scold us.
He will not be angry forever.
10He has not punished us as our sins should be punished.
He has not repaid us for the evil we have done.
11As high as the sky is above the earth,
so great is his love for those who respect him.
12He has taken our sins away from us
as far as the east is from west.
13The Lord has mercy on those who fear him,
as a father has mercy on his children.
14He knows how we were made.
He remembers that we are dust.
15Human life is like grass.
We grow like a flower in the field.
16After the wind blows, the flower is gone.
There is no sign of where it was.
17But the Lord’s love for those who fear him
continues forever and ever.
And his goodness continues to their grandchildren
18and to those who keep his agreement
and who remember to obey his orders.
19The Lord has set his throne in heaven.
And his kingdom rules over everything.
20You who are his angels, praise the Lord.
You are the mighty warriors who do what he says.
Listen to what he says.
21You, his armies, praise the Lord.
You are his servants who do what he wants.
22Everything the Lord has made
should praise him in all the places he rules.
My whole being, praise the Lord.
