Psalm 103 :: Christian Standard Bible (CSB)

The Forgiving God

Of David.

Psa 103:1

My soul, bless the LORD,

and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

Psa 103:2

My soul, bless the LORD,

and do not forget all his benefits.

Psa 103:3

He forgives all your iniquity;

he heals all your diseases.

Psa 103:4

He redeems your life from the Pit;

he crowns you with faithful love and compassion.

Psa 103:5

He satisfies you[fn] with good things;

your youth is renewed like the eagle.

Psa 103:6

The LORD executes acts of righteousness

and justice for all the oppressed.

Psa 103:7

He revealed his ways to Moses,

his deeds to the people of Israel.

Psa 103:8

The LORD is compassionate and gracious,

slow to anger and abounding in faithful love.

Psa 103:9

He will not always accuse us

or be angry forever.

Psa 103:10

He has not dealt with us as our sins deserve

or repaid us according to our iniquities.

Psa 103:11

For as high as the heavens are above the earth,

so great is his faithful love

toward those who fear him.

Psa 103:12

As far as the east is from the west,

so far has he removed

our transgressions from us.

Psa 103:13

As a father has compassion on his children,

so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.

Psa 103:14

For he knows what we are made of,

remembering that we are dust.

Psa 103:15

As for man, his days are like grass —

he blooms like a flower of the field;

Psa 103:16

when the wind passes over it, it vanishes,

and its place is no longer known.[fn]

Psa 103:17

But from eternity to eternity

the LORD’s faithful love is toward those who fear him,

and his righteousness toward the grandchildren

Psa 103:18

of those who keep his covenant,

who remember to observe his precepts.

Psa 103:19

The LORD has established his throne in heaven,

and his kingdom rules over all.

Psa 103:20

Bless the LORD,

all his angels of great strength,

who do his word,

obedient to his command.

Psa 103:21

Bless the LORD, all his armies,

his servants who do his will.

Psa 103:22

Bless the LORD, all his works

in all the places where he rules.

My soul, bless the LORD!
