(Psalms
103.1-22)
Praise for the Lord's Benefits
A
Psalm of David.
1 Bless the Lord, O my soul: and ALL that
is within me, bless his holy name.
2 who forgiveth ALL thine iniquities; and
forget not ALL his benefits:
3 who forgiveth ALL thine iniquities; who
healeth ALL thy diseases;
4 who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who
crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies;
5 who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6 The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment
for ALL that are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts
unto the children of Israel.
8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, (Jas. 5.11) slow to anger,
and plenteous in mercy.
9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor
rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that
fear him.
12 As
far as the east is from the west, so far
hath he removed our transgressions from us.
13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.
14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that
we are dust.
15 As for man and woman, their days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so they
flourisheth.
16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone;
and the place thereof shall know it no more.
17 But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon
them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
18 to such as keep his covenant, and to those
that remember his commandments to do them.
19 The Lord hath
prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over ALL.
20 Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in
strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21 Bless ye the Lord, ALL ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his
pleasure.
22 Bless the Lord, ALL his works in ALL places
of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my
soul.
