Bless the Lord, O My Soul

Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name!

Psa 103:2

Psa 103:2Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits,

Psa 103:3

Psa 103:3who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases,

Psa 103:4

Psa 103:4who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,

Psa 103:5

Psa 103:5who satisfies you with good
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Psa 103:6

Psa 103:6The LORD works righteousness
and justice for all who are oppressed.

Psa 103:7

Psa 103:7He made known his ways to Moses,
his acts to the people of Israel.

Psa 103:8

Psa 103:8The LORD is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

Psa 103:9

Psa 103:9He will not always chide,
nor will he keep his anger forever.

Psa 103:10

Psa 103:10He does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.

Psa 103:11

Psa 103:11For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;

Psa 103:12

Psa 103:12as far as the east is from the west,
so far does he remove our transgressions from us.

Psa 103:13

Psa 103:13As a father shows compassion to his children,
so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him.

Psa 103:14For he knows our frame;[fn]
he remembers that we are dust.

Psa 103:15

Psa 103:15As for man, his days are like grass;
he flourishes like a flower of the field;

Psa 103:16

Psa 103:16for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,
and its place knows it no more.

Psa 103:17

Psa 103:17But the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him,
and his righteousness to children’s children,

Psa 103:18

Psa 103:18to those who keep his covenant
and remember to do his commandments.

Psa 103:19

Psa 103:19The LORD has established his throne in the heavens,
and his kingdom rules over all.

Psa 103:20

Psa 103:20Bless the LORD, O you his angels,
you mighty ones who do his word,
obeying the voice of his word!

Psa 103:21

Psa 103:21Bless the LORD, all his hosts,
his ministers, who do his will!

Psa 103:22

Psa 103:22Bless the LORD, all his works,
in all places of his dominion.
Bless the LORD, O my soul!
