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
A psalm of David.
1I will praise the Lord.
Deep down inside me, I will praise him.
I will praise him, because his name is holy.
2I will praise the Lord.
I won’t forget anything he does for me.
3He forgives all my sins.
He heals all my sicknesses.
4He saves my life from going down into the grave.
His faithful and tender love makes me feel like a king.
5He satisfies me with the good things I desire.
Then I feel young and strong again, just like an eagle.
6The Lord does what is right and fair
for all who are treated badly.
7He told Moses all about his plans.
He let the people of Israel see his mighty acts.
8The Lord is tender and kind. He is gracious.
He is slow to get angry. He is full of love.
9He won’t keep bringing charges against us.
He won’t stay angry with us forever.
10He doesn’t punish us for our sins as much as we should be punished.
He doesn’t pay us back in keeping with the evil things we’ve done.
11He loves those who have respect for him.
His love is as high as the heavens are above the earth.
12He has removed our sins from us.
He has removed them as far as the east is from the west.
13A father is tender and kind to his children.
In the same way, the Lord is tender and kind
to those who have respect for him.
14He knows what we are made of.
He remembers that we are dust.
15The life of human beings is like grass.
People grow like the flowers in the field.
16When the wind blows on them, they are gone.
No one can tell that they had ever been there.
17But the Lord’s love
for those who have respect for him
lasts for ever and ever.
Their children’s children will know
that he always does what is right.
18He always loves those who keep his covenant.
He always does what is right for those who remember to obey his commands.
19The Lord has set up his throne in heaven.
His kingdom rules over all.
20Praise the Lord, you angels of his.
Praise him, you mighty ones
who carry out his orders and obey his word.
21Praise the Lord, all you angels in heaven.
Praise him, all you who serve him and do what he wants.
22Let everything the Lord has made praise him
everywhere in his kingdom.
I will praise the Lord.
