Psalm 103 :: New International Version (NIV)

Psa 103:1Of David. Praise the LORD, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
Psa 103:2Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—
Psa 103:3who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,
Psa 103:4who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,
Psa 103:5who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Psa 103:6The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.
Psa 103:7He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel:
Psa 103:8The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.
Psa 103:9He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever;
Psa 103:10he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.
Psa 103:11For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;
Psa 103:12as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
Psa 103:13As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;
Psa 103:14for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.
Psa 103:15The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field;
Psa 103:16the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.
Psa 103:17But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children—
Psa 103:18with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.
Psa 103:19The LORD has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all.
Psa 103:20Praise the LORD, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word.
Psa 103:21Praise the LORD, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will.
Psa 103:22Praise the LORD, all his works everywhere in his dominion. Praise the LORD, my soul.
