Of David.
103 Let me praise Jehovah;
Let everything within me praise his holy name.
2 Let me praise Jehovah;
May I never forget all that he has done.+
3 He forgives all your errors+
And heals all your ailments;+
4 He reclaims your life from the pit+
And crowns you with his loyal love and mercy.+
5 He satisfies you with good things+ all your life,
So that your youth is renewed like that of an eagle.+
6 Jehovah acts with righteousness+ and justice
For all who are oppressed.+
7 He made known his ways to Moses,+
His deeds to the sons of Israel.+
8 Jehovah is merciful and compassionate,+
Slow to anger and abundant in loyal love.+
9 He will not always find fault,+
Nor will he stay resentful forever.+
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins,+
Nor has he repaid us what our errors deserve.+
11 For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So great is his loyal love toward those who fear him.+
12 As far off as the sunrise is from the sunset,
So far off from us he has put our transgressions.+
13 As a father shows mercy to his sons,
Jehovah has shown mercy to those who fear him.+
14 For he well knows how we are formed,+
Remembering that we are dust.+
15 As for mortal man, his days are like those of grass;+
He blooms like a blossom of the field.+
16 But when a wind blows, it is no more,
As though it was never there.
17 But the loyal love of Jehovah is for all eternity
Toward those who fear him,+
And his righteousness toward their children’s children,+
18 Toward those who keep his covenant+
And those who are careful to observe his orders.
19 Jehovah has firmly established his throne in the heavens;+
And his kingship rules over everything.+
20 Praise Jehovah, all you his angels,+ mighty in power,
Who carry out his word,+ obeying his voice.
21 Praise Jehovah, all his armies,+
His ministers who do his will.+
22 Praise Jehovah, all his works,
In all the places where he rules.
Let my whole being praise Jehovah.
