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
Of David.
1Let my whole being#103.1 Or soul; also in 103:2, 22 bless the LORD!
Let everything inside me bless his holy name!
2Let my whole being bless the LORD
and never forget all his good deeds:
3how God forgives all your sins,
heals all your sickness,
4saves your life from the pit,
crowns you with faithful love and compassion,
5and satisfies you with plenty of good things
so that your youth is made fresh like an eagle’s.
6The LORD works righteousness;
does justice for all who are oppressed.
7God made his ways known to Moses;
made his deeds known to the Israelites.
8The LORD is compassionate and merciful,
very patient, and full of faithful love.
9God won’t always play the judge;
he won’t be angry forever.
10He doesn’t deal with us according to our sin
or repay us according to our wrongdoing,
11because as high as heaven is above the earth,
that’s how large God’s faithful love is for those who honor him.
12As far as east is from west—
that’s how far God has removed our sin from us.
13Like a parent feels compassion for their children—
that’s how the LORD feels compassion for those who honor him.
14Because God knows how we’re made,
God remembers we’re just dust.
15The days of a human life are like grass:
they bloom like a wildflower;
16but when the wind blows through it, it’s gone;
even the ground where it stood doesn’t remember it.
17But the LORD’s faithful love is from forever ago to forever from now
for those who honor him.
And God’s righteousness reaches to the grandchildren
18of those who keep his covenant
and remember to keep his commands.
19The LORD has established his throne in heaven,
and his kingdom rules over all.
20You divine messengers,
bless the LORD!
You who are mighty in power and keep his word,
who obey everything he says,
bless him!
21All you heavenly forces,
bless the LORD!
All you who serve him and do his will,
bless him!
22All God’s creatures,
bless the LORD!
Everywhere, throughout his kingdom,
let my whole being
bless the LORD!
