Psalm 103

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁶ The Lord ^(J)performs ^[b]righteous deeds
And judgments for all who are ^(K)oppressed.
⁷ He ^(L)made known His ways to Moses,
His ^(M)acts to the sons of Israel.
⁸ The Lord is ^(N)compassionate and gracious,
^(O)Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness.
⁹ He ^(P)will not always strive with us,
Nor will He ^(Q)keep His anger forever.
¹⁰ He has ^(R)not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
¹¹ For as high ^(S)as the heavens are above the earth,
So great is His lovingkindness toward those who ^[c]fear Him.
¹² As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He ^(T)removed our transgressions from us.
¹³ Just ^(U)as a father has compassion on his children,
So the Lord has compassion on those who ^[d]fear Him.
¹⁴ For ^(V)He Himself knows ^[e]our frame;
He ^(W)is mindful that we are but ^(X)dust.

¹⁵ As for man, his days are ^(Y)like grass;
As a ^(Z)flower of the field, so he flourishes.
¹⁶ When the ^(AA)wind has passed over it, it is no more,
And its ^(AB)place acknowledges it no longer.
¹⁷ But the ^(AC)lovingkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who ^[f]fear Him,
And His ^[g]righteousness ^(AD)to children’s children,
¹⁸ To ^(AE)those who keep His covenant
And remember His precepts to do them.

¹⁹ The Lord has established His ^(AF)throne in the heavens,
And His ^[h](AG)sovereignty rules over ^[i]all.
²⁰ Bless the Lord, you ^(AH)His angels,
^(AI)Mighty in strength, who ^(AJ)perform His word,
^(AK)Obeying the voice of His word!
²¹ Bless the Lord, all you ^(AL)His hosts,
You ^(AM)who serve Him, doing His will.
²² Bless the Lord, ^(AN)all you works of His,
In all places of His dominion;
Bless the Lord, O my soul!
