Psalm 103

Praise the Lord, my soul

  1. Praise the Lord, my soul; all my being, bless his holy name.
  2. Praise the Lord, my soul, and do not forget all his benefits—
  3. who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases,
  4. who redeems your life from the grave, who crowns you with love and compassion,
  5. who satisfies your needs with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

He shows mercy to his children

  1. The Lord makes righteous the sinless and keeps the way of his faithful ones.
  2. The Lord opens the eyes of the blind, the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down,
  3. the Lord loves the righteous, the Lord protects the foreigners and upholds the children of the poor and frees the prisoners.

He is kind to all

  1. The Lord has revealed his salvation to his people; he has revealed his mighty deeds.
  2. He has given his people the knowledge of his works and has given them the glory of his works.
  3. He has given them the work of his hands, so that they may worship him.

His love endures forever

  1. The Lord will bless his people, and his love will endure forever; and he will give them peace.
