Psalm 103:1-12

Common English Bible

Psalm 103

Of David.

103 Let my whole being^[a] bless the Lord!
    Let everything inside me bless his holy name!
²Let my whole being bless the Lord
    and never forget all his good deeds:
³    how God forgives all your sins,
    heals all your sickness,
⁴    saves your life from the pit,
    crowns you with faithful love and compassion,
⁵    and satisfies you with plenty of good things
        so that your youth is made fresh like an eagle’s.

⁶The Lord works righteousness;
    does justice for all who are oppressed.
⁷God made his ways known to Moses;
    made his deeds known to the Israelites.
⁸The Lord is compassionate and merciful,
    very patient, and full of faithful love.
⁹God won’t always play the judge;
    he won’t be angry forever.
¹⁰He doesn’t deal with us according to our sin
    or repay us according to our wrongdoing,
¹¹    because as high as heaven is above the earth,
    that’s how large God’s faithful love is for those who honor him.
¹²As far as east is from west—
    that’s how far God has removed our sin from us.
