Psalm 103: Benedic, anima mea

Bless the LORD, O my soul, *

and all that is within me, bless his holy Name.

Bless the LORD, O my soul, *

and forget not all his benefits.

He forgives all your sins *

and heals all your infirmities;

He redeems your life from the grave *

and crowns you with mercy and loving-kindness;

He satisfies you with good things, *

and your youth is renewed like an eagle's.

The LORD executes righteousness *

and judgment for all who are oppressed.

He made his ways known to Moses *

and his works to the children of Israel.

The LORD is full of compassion and mercy, *

slow to anger and of great kindness.

He will not always accuse us, *

nor will he keep his anger for ever.

He has not dealt with us according to our sins, *

nor rewarded us according to our wickedness.

For as the heavens are high above the earth, *

so is his mercy great upon those who fear him.

As far as the east is from the west, *

so far has he removed our sins from us.

As a father cares for his children, *

so does the LORD care for those who fear him.

For he himself knows whereof we are made; *

he remembers that we are but dust.

Our days are like the grass; *

we flourish like a flower of the field;

When the wind goes over it, it is gone, *

and its place shall know it no more.

But the merciful goodness of the LORD endures for ever on those who fear him, *

and his righteousness on children's children;

On those who keep his covenant *

and remember his commandments and do them.

The LORD has set his throne in heaven, *

and his kingship has dominion over all.

Bless the LORD, you angels of his,

you mighty ones who do his bidding, *

and hearken to the voice of his word.

Bless the LORD, all you his hosts, *

you ministers of his who do his will.

Bless the LORD, all you works of his,

in all places of his dominion; *

bless the LORD, O my soul.
