By David.

103:1 Praise Yahweh, my soul!

All that is within me, praise his holy name!

103:2 Praise Yahweh, my soul,

and don't forget all his benefits;

103:3 who forgives all your sins;

who heals all your diseases;

103:4 who redeems your life from destruction;

who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies;

103:5 who satisfies your desire with good things,

so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

103:6 Yahweh executes righteous acts,

and justice for all who are oppressed.

103:7 He made known his ways to Moses,

his deeds to the children of Israel.

103:8 Yahweh is merciful and gracious,

slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.

103:9 He will not always accuse;

neither will he stay angry forever.

103:10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins,

nor repaid us for our iniquities.

103:11 For as the heavens are high above the earth,

so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him.

103:12 As far as the east is from the west,

so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

103:13 Like a father has compassion on his children,

so Yahweh has compassion on those who fear him.

103:14 For he knows how we are made.

He remembers that we are dust.

103:15 As for man, his days are like grass.

As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

103:16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone.

Its place remembers it no more.

103:17 But Yahweh's loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him,

his righteousness to children's children;

103:18 to those who keep his covenant,

to those who remember to obey his precepts.

103:19 Yahweh has established his throne in the heavens.

His kingdom rules over all.

103:20 Praise Yahweh, you angels of his,

who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word,

obeying the voice of his word.

103:21 Praise Yahweh, all you armies of his,

you servants of his, who do his pleasure.

103:22 Praise Yahweh, all you works of his,

in all places of his dominion.

Praise Yahweh, my soul!
