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. |
