103 ⁽⁰⁾ By David:

⁽¹⁾ Bless Adonai, my soul!
Everything in me, bless his holy name!
² Bless Adonai, my soul,
and forget none of his benefits!

³ He forgives all your offenses,
he heals all your diseases,
⁴ he redeems your life from the pit,
he surrounds you with grace and compassion,
⁵ he contents you with good as long as you live,
so that your youth is renewed like an eagle’s.

⁶ Adonai brings vindication and justice
to all who are oppressed.
⁷ He made his ways known to Moshe,
his mighty deeds to the people of Isra’el.
⁸ Adonai is merciful and compassionate,
slow to anger and rich in grace.
⁹ He will not always accuse,
he will not keep his anger forever.
¹⁰ He has not treated us as our sins deserve
or paid us back for our offenses,
¹¹ because his mercy toward those who fear him
is as far above earth as heaven.
¹² He has removed our sins from us
as far as the east is from the west.

¹³ Just as a father has compassion on his children,
Adonai has compassion on those who fear him.
¹⁴ For he understands how we are made,
he remembers that we are dust.
¹⁵ Yes, a human being’s days are like grass,
he sprouts like a flower in the countryside —
¹⁶ but when the wind sweeps over, it’s gone;
and its place knows it no more.
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,
¹⁸ provided they keep his covenant
and remember to follow his precepts.

¹⁹ Adonai has established his throne in heaven;
his kingly power rules everything.
²⁰ Bless Adonai, you angels of his,
you mighty warriors who obey his word,
who carry out his orders!
²¹ Bless Adonai, all his troops,
who serve him and do what he wants!
²² Bless Adonai, all his works,
in every place where he rules!
Bless Adonai, my soul!
