Psalm 103 :: New Living Translation (NLT)

Psa 103:1A psalm of David.

Let all that I am praise the LORD;
with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name.

Psa 103:2Let all that I am praise the LORD;
may I never forget the good things he does for me.

Psa 103:3He forgives all my sins
and heals all my diseases.

Psa 103:4He redeems me from death
and crowns me with love and tender mercies.

Psa 103:5He fills my life with good things.
My youth is renewed like the eagle’s!

Psa 103:6The LORD gives righteousness
and justice to all who are treated unfairly.

Psa 103:7He revealed his character to Moses
and his deeds to the people of Israel.

Psa 103:8The LORD is compassionate and merciful,
slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.

Psa 103:9He will not constantly accuse us,
nor remain angry forever.

Psa 103:10He does not punish us for all our sins;
he does not deal harshly with us, as we deserve.

Psa 103:11For his unfailing love toward those who fear him
is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth.

Psa 103:12He has removed our sins as far from us
as the east is from the west.

Psa 103:13The LORD is like a father to his children,
tender and compassionate to those who fear him.

Psa 103:14For he knows how weak we are;
he remembers we are only dust.

Psa 103:15Our days on earth are like grass;
like wildflowers, we bloom and die.

Psa 103:16The wind blows, and we are gone—
as though we had never been here.

Psa 103:17But the love of the LORD remains forever
with those who fear him.
His salvation extends to the children’s children

Psa 103:18of those who are faithful to his covenant,
of those who obey his commandments!

Psa 103:19The LORD has made the heavens his throne;
from there he rules over everything.

Psa 103:20Praise the LORD, you angels,
you mighty ones who carry out his plans,
listening for each of his commands.

Psa 103:21Yes, praise the LORD, you armies of angels
who serve him and do his will!

Psa 103:22Praise the LORD, everything he has created,
everything in all his kingdom.
Let all that I am praise the LORD.
