103:1 By David: Bless Adonai, my soul! Everything in me, bless his holy name!
103:2 Bless Adonai, my soul, and forget none of his benefits!
103:3 He forgives all your offenses, he heals all your diseases,
103:4 he redeems your life from the pit, he surrounds you with grace and compassion,
103:5 he contents you with good as long as you live, so that your youth is renewed like an eagle’s.
103:6 Adonai brings vindication and justice to all who are oppressed.
103:7 He made his ways known to Moshe, his mighty deeds to the people of Isra’el.
103:8 Adonai is merciful and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in grace.
103:9 He will not always accuse, he will not keep his anger forever.
103:10 He has not treated us as our sins deserve or paid us back for our offenses,
103:11 because his mercy toward those who fear him is as far above earth as heaven.
103:12 He has removed our sins from us as far as the east is from the west.
103:13 Just as a father has compassion on his children, Adonai has compassion on those who fear him.
103:14 For he understands how we are made, he remembers that we are dust.
103:15 Yes, a human being’s days are like grass, he sprouts like a flower in the countryside —
103:16 but when the wind sweeps over, it’s gone; and its place knows it no more.
103:17 But the mercy of Adonai on those who fear him is from eternity past to eternity future, and his righteousness extends to his children’s children,
103:18 provided they keep his covenant and remember to follow his precepts.
103:19 Adonai has established his throne in heaven; his kingly power rules everything.
103:20 Bless Adonai, you angels of his, you mighty warriors who obey his word, who carry out his orders!
103:21 Bless Adonai, all his troops, who serve him and do what he wants!
103:22 Bless Adonai, all his works, in every place where he rules! Bless Adonai, my soul!
