Psalms 103:1-14

11Bless the Lord, my soul, And all that is within me, bless His 2holy name.2Bless the Lord, my soul, And 3do not forget any of His benefits;3Who 4pardons all your guilt, Who 5heals all your diseases;4Who 6redeems your life from the pit, Who 7crowns you with favor and compassion;5Who 8satisfies your 9years with good things, So that your youth is 10renewed like the eagle.

6The Lord 11performs 12righteous deeds And judgments for all who are 13oppressed.7He 14made known His ways to Moses, His 15deeds to the sons of Israel.8The Lord is 16compassionate and gracious, 17Slow to anger and abounding in mercy.9He 18will not always contend with us, Nor will He 19keep His anger forever.10He has 20not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor rewarded us according to our guilty deeds.11For as high 21as the heavens are above the earth, So great is His mercy toward those who 22fear Him.12As far as the east is from the west, So far has He 23removed our wrongdoings from us.13Just 24as a father has compassion on his children, So the Lord has compassion on those who 25fear Him.14For 26He Himself knows 27our form; He 28is mindful that we are nothing but 29dust.
