Psalms 103:2-18

2BlessH1288 the LordH3068, my soulH5315, And 1do not forgetH7911 anyH3605 of His benefitsH1576;3Who 2pardonsH5545 allH3605 your guiltH5771, Who 3healsH7495 allH3605 your diseasesH8463;4Who 4redeemsH1350 your lifeH2425 from the pitH7845, Who 5crownsH5849 you with favorH2617 and compassionH7356;5Who 6satisfiesH7646 your 7yearsH5750 with goodH2896 thingsH2896, So that your youthH5271 is 8renewedH2318 like the eagleH5404.

6The LordH3068 9performsH6213 10righteousH6666 deedsH6666 And judgmentsH4941 for allH3605 who are 11oppressedH6231.7He 12madeH3045 knownH3045 His waysH1870 to MosesH4872, His 13deedsH5949 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.8The LordH3068 is 14compassionateH7349 and graciousH2587, 15SlowH750 to angerH639 and aboundingH7227 in mercyH2617.9He 16will not alwaysH5331 contendH7378 with us, NorH3808 will He 17keepH5201 His anger foreverH5769.10He has 18not dealtH6213 with us according to our sinsH2399, NorH3808 rewardedH1580 us according to our guiltyH5771 deedsH5771.11For as highH1361 19as the heavensH8064 are aboveH5921 the earthH776, So greatH1396 is His mercyH2617 towardH5921 those who 20fearH3372 Him.12As farH7368 as the eastH4217 is from the westH4628, So farH7368 has He 21removedH7368 our wrongdoingsH6588 from us.13Just 22as a fatherH1 hasH7355 compassionH7355 on his childrenH1121, So the LordH3068 hasH7355 compassionH7355 on those who 23fearH3372 Him.14For 24He HimselfH1931 knowsH3045 25our formH3336; He 26is mindfulH2142 that we are nothing but 27dustH6083.

15As for manH582, his daysH3117 are 28like grassH2682; Like a 29flowerH6731 of the fieldH7704, soH3651 he flourishesH6692.16WhenH3588 the 30windH7307 has passedH5674 overH5674 it, it is noH369 moreH369, And its 31placeH4725 noH3808 longerH5750 knowsH5234 aboutH5234 it.17But the 3233mercyH2617 of the LordH3068 is from everlastingH5769 to everlastingH5769 for those who 34fearH3372 Him, And His justiceH6666 35to the children’sH1121 childrenH1121,18To 36those who keepH8104 His covenantH1285 And rememberH2142 His preceptsH6490, so as to doH6213 them.
