Psalm 103 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Praise for the LORDS Mercies.

Psa 103:1

A Psalm of David.

Bless the LORD, my soul,

And all that is within me, bless His holy name.

Psa 103:2

Bless the LORD, my soul,

And do not forget any of His benefits;

Psa 103:3

Who pardons all your guilt,

Who heals all your diseases;

Psa 103:4

Who redeems your life from the pit,

Who crowns you with favor and compassion;

Psa 103:5

Who satisfies your [fn]years with good things,

So that your youth is renewed like the eagle.

Psa 103:6

The LORD performs [fn]righteous deeds

And judgments for all who are oppressed.

Psa 103:7

He made known His ways to Moses,

His deeds to the sons of Israel.

Psa 103:8

The LORD is compassionate and gracious,

Slow to anger and abounding in mercy.

Psa 103:9

He will not always contend with us,

Nor will He keep His anger forever.

Psa 103:10

He has not dealt with us according to our sins,

Nor rewarded us according to our guilty deeds.

Psa 103:11

For as high as the heavens are above the earth,

So great is His mercy toward those who [fn]fear Him.

Psa 103:12

As far as the east is from the west,

So far has He removed our wrongdoings from us.

Psa 103:13

Just as a father has compassion on his children,

So the LORD has compassion on those who [fn]fear Him.

Psa 103:14

For He Himself knows [fn]our form;

He is mindful that we are nothing but dust.

Psa 103:15

As for man, his days are like grass;

Like a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

Psa 103:16

When the wind has passed over it, it is no more,

And its place no longer knows about it.

Psa 103:17

But the [fn]mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting for those who [fn]fear Him,

And His justice to the children’s children,

Psa 103:18

To those who keep His covenant

And remember His precepts, so as to do them.

Psa 103:19

The LORD has established His throne in the heavens,

And His [fn]sovereignty rules over [fn]all.

Psa 103:20

Bless the LORD, you His angels,

Mighty in strength, who perform His word,

Obeying the voice of His word!

Psa 103:21

Bless the LORD, all you His [fn]angels,

You who serve Him, doing His will.

Psa 103:22

Bless the LORD, all you works of His,

In all places of His dominion;

Bless the LORD, my soul!
