Psalm 103:1–12

 

₁Bless the Lord, | O my soul,*

         and all that is within me,

         bless his | holy name!

 

₂Bless the Lord, | O my soul,*

         and forget not all his | benefits,

 

₃who forgives all your in- | iquity,*

         who heals all your dis- | eases,

 

₄who redeems your life | from the pit,*

         who crowns you with steadfast love and | mercy,

 

₅who satisfies | you with good*

         so that your youth is renewed like the | eagle’s.

 

₆The Lord works | righteousness*

         and justice for all who | are oppressed.

 

₇He made known his ways to | Moses,*

         his acts to the people of | Israel.

 

₈The Lord is merciful and | gracious,*

         slow to anger and abounding in | steadfast love.

 

₉He will not | always chide,*

         nor will he keep his anger for- | ever.

 

₁₀He does not deal with us according | to our sins,*

         nor repay us according to our in- | iquities.

 

₁₁For as high as the heavens are a- | bove the earth,*

         so great is his steadfast love toward those who | fear him;

 

₁₂as far as the east is | from the west,*

         so far does he remove our transgres- | sions from us.
