[103:1] Praise the Lord, my soul! All my being, praise his holy name!
[103:2] Praise the Lord, my soul, and do not forget how kind he is.
[103:3] He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases.
[103:4] He keeps me from the grave and blesses me with love and mercy.
[103:5] He fills my life with good things, so that I stay young and strong like an eagle.
[103:6] The Lord judges in favor of the oppressed and gives them their rights.
[103:7] He revealed his plans to Moses and let the people of Israel see his mighty deeds.
[103:8] The Lord is merciful and loving, slow to become angry and full of constant love.
[103:9] He does not keep on rebuking; he is not angry forever.
[103:10] He does not punish us as we deserve or repay us according to our sins and wrongs.
[103:11] As high as the sky is above the earth, so great is his love for those who honor him.
[103:12] As far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our sins from us.
[103:13] As a father is kind to his children, so the Lord is kind to those who honor him.
[103:14] He knows what we are made of; he remembers that we are dust.
[103:15] As for us, our life is like grass. We grow and flourish like a wild flower;
[103:16] then the wind blows on it, and it is gone— no one sees it again.
[103:17] But for those who honor the Lord, his love lasts forever, and his goodness endures for all generations
[103:18] of those who are true to his covenant and who faithfully obey his commands.
[103:19] The Lord placed his throne in heaven; he is king over all.
[103:20] Praise the Lord, you strong and mighty angels, who obey his commands, who listen to what he says.
[103:21] Praise the Lord, all you heavenly powers, you servants of his, who do his will!
[103:22] Praise the Lord, all his creatures in all the places he rules. Praise the Lord, my soul!
