| Chapter 103
|
1 | Bless the LORD, O
my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. |
2 | Bless the LORD, O my soul, 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 lovingkindness 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,
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, his days are as
grass: as a flower of the field, so he 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. |
