Psalm 103

Benedic anima mea

  1. PRAISE the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, praise his holy Name.
  2. Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits;
  3. Who forgiveth all thy sin, and healeth all thine infirmities;
  4. Who saveth thy life from destruction, and crowneth thee with mercy and loving-kindness;
  5. Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things, making thee young and lusty as an eagle.
  6. The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all them that are oppressed with wrong.
  7. He showed his ways unto Moses, his works unto the children of Israel.
  8. The LORD is full of compassion and mercy, long-suffering, and of great goodness.
  9. He will not alway be chiding; neither keepeth he his anger for ever.
  10. He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our wickednesses.
  11. For look how high the heaven is in comparison of the earth; so great is his mercy also toward them that fear him.
  12. Look how wide also the east is from the west; so far hath he set our sins from us.
  13. Yea, like as a father pitieth his own children; even so is the LORD merciful unto them that fear him.
  14. For he knoweth whereof we are made; he remembereth that we are but dust.
  15. The days of man are of no long duration; but thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever upon them that fear thee, and thy righteousness upon children's children;
  16. Even upon such as keep his covenant, and think upon his commandments to do them.
  17. The LORD hath prepared his seat in heaven, and his kingdom ruleth over all.
  18. O praise the LORD, ye angels of his, ye that excel in strength; ye that fulfil his commandment, and hearken unto the voice of his word.
  19. O praise the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye servants of his that do his pleasure.
  20. O speak good of the LORD, all ye works of his, in all places of his dominion: praise thou the LORD, O my soul.
