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.

PSALM 103
Praise for the Lord’s Mercies.
A Psalm of David.
1Bless and affectionately praise the Lord, O my soul,
And all that is [deep] within me, bless His holy name.
2Bless and affectionately praise the Lord, O my soul,
And do not forget any of His benefits;
3Who forgives all your sins,
Who heals all your diseases;
4Who redeems your life from the pit,
Who crowns you [lavishly] with lovingkindness and tender mercy;
5Who satisfies your years with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the [soaring] eagle.
6The Lord executes righteousness
And justice for all the oppressed.
7He made known His ways [of righteousness and justice] to Moses,
His acts to the children of Israel.
8The Lord is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger and abounding in compassion and 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 [as we deserve],
Nor rewarded us [with punishment] according to our wickedness.
11For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear and worship Him [with awe-filled respect and deepest reverence].
12As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
13Just as a father loves his children,
So the Lord loves those who fear and worship Him [with awe-filled respect and deepest reverence].
14For He knows our [mortal] frame;
He remembers that we are [merely] dust.
15As for man, his days are like grass;
Like a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16For the wind passes over it and it is no more,
And its place knows it no longer.
17But the lovingkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who [reverently] fear Him,
And His righteousness to children’s children,
18To those who honor and keep His covenant,
And remember to do His commandments [imprinting His word on their hearts].
19The Lord has established His throne in the heavens,
And His sovereignty rules over all [the universe].
20Bless the Lord, you His angels,
You mighty ones who do His commandments,
Obeying the voice of His word!
21Bless the Lord, all you His hosts,
You who serve Him and do His will.
22Bless the Lord, all you works of His, in all places of His dominion;
Bless and affectionately praise the Lord, O my soul!
