Psalm 103:1-14

New King James Version

Praise for the Lord’s Mercies

A Psalm of David.

103 Bless ^(A)the Lord, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
²Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
³^(B)Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who ^(C)heals all your diseases,
⁴Who redeems your life from destruction,
^(D)Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
⁵Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that ^(E)your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

⁶The Lord executes righteousness
And justice for all who are oppressed.
⁷^(F)He made known His ways to Moses,
His acts to the children of Israel.
⁸^(G)The Lord is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.
⁹^(H)He will not always strive with us,
Nor will He keep His anger forever.
¹⁰^(I)He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor punished us according to our iniquities.

¹¹For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;
¹²As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He ^(J)removed our transgressions from us.
¹³^(K)As a father pities his children,
So the Lord pities those who fear Him.
¹⁴For He ^[a]knows our frame;
He remembers that we are dust.
