Praise for the Lords Mercies.

A Psalm of David.

103 (A)Bless the Lord, my soul,
And all that is within me, bless His (B)holy name.
Bless the Lord, my soul,
And (C)do not forget any of His benefits;
Who (D)pardons all your guilt,
Who (E)heals all your diseases;
Who (F)redeems your life from the pit,
Who (G)crowns you with favor and compassion;
Who (H)satisfies your [a]years with good things,
So that your youth is (I)renewed like the eagle.

The Lord (J)performs [b]righteous deeds
And judgments for all who are (K)oppressed.
He (L)made known His ways to Moses,
His (M)deeds to the sons of Israel.
The Lord is (N)compassionate and gracious,
(O)Slow to anger and abounding in mercy.
He (P)will not always contend with us,
Nor will He (Q)keep His anger forever.
10 He has (R)not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor rewarded us according to our guilty deeds.
11 For as high (S)as the heavens are above the earth,
So great is His mercy toward those who [c]fear Him.
12 As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He (T)removed our wrongdoings from us.
13 Just (U)as a father has compassion on his children,
So the Lord has compassion on those who [d]fear Him.
14 For (V)He Himself knows [e]our form;
He (W)is mindful that we are nothing but (X)dust.

15 As for man, his days are (Y)like grass;
Like a (Z)flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16 When the (AA)wind has passed over it, it is no more,
And its (AB)place no longer knows about it.
17 But the [f](AC)mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting for those who [g]fear Him,
And His justice (AD)to the children’s children,
18 To (AE)those who keep His covenant
And remember His precepts, so as to do them.

19 The Lord has established His (AF)throne in the heavens,
And His [h](AG)sovereignty rules over [i]all.
20 Bless the Lord, you (AH)His angels,
(AI)Mighty in strength, who (AJ)perform His word,
(AK)Obeying the voice of His word!
21 Bless the Lord, all you (AL)His [j]angels,
You (AM)who serve Him, doing His will.
22 Bless the Lord, (AN)all you works of His,
In all places of His dominion;
Bless the Lord, my soul!

Psalm 103

Of David.

Praise the Lord,(A) my soul;(B)
    all my inmost being, praise his holy name.(C)
Praise the Lord,(D) my soul,
    and forget not(E) all his benefits—
who forgives all your sins(F)
    and heals(G) all your diseases,
who redeems your life(H) from the pit
    and crowns you with love and compassion,(I)
who satisfies(J) your desires with good things
    so that your youth is renewed(K) like the eagle’s.(L)

The Lord works righteousness(M)
    and justice for all the oppressed.(N)

He made known(O) his ways(P) to Moses,
    his deeds(Q) to the people of Israel:
The Lord is compassionate and gracious,(R)
    slow to anger, abounding in love.
He will not always accuse,
    nor will he harbor his anger forever;(S)
10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve(T)
    or repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
    so great is his love(U) for those who fear him;(V)
12 as far as the east is from the west,
    so far has he removed our transgressions(W) from us.

13 As a father has compassion(X) on his children,
    so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
14 for he knows how we are formed,(Y)
    he remembers that we are dust.(Z)
15 The life of mortals is like grass,(AA)
    they flourish like a flower(AB) of the field;
16 the wind blows(AC) over it and it is gone,
    and its place(AD) remembers it no more.
17 But from everlasting to everlasting
    the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,
    and his righteousness with their children’s children(AE)
18 with those who keep his covenant(AF)
    and remember(AG) to obey his precepts.(AH)

19 The Lord has established his throne(AI) in heaven,
    and his kingdom rules(AJ) over all.

20 Praise the Lord,(AK) you his angels,(AL)
    you mighty ones(AM) who do his bidding,(AN)
    who obey his word.
21 Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts,(AO)
    you his servants(AP) who do his will.
22 Praise the Lord, all his works(AQ)
    everywhere in his dominion.

Praise the Lord, my soul.(AR)

Praise for the Lord’s Mercies.

A Psalm of David.

103 Bless and affectionately praise the Lord, O my soul,
And all that is [deep] within me, bless His holy name.

Bless and affectionately praise the Lord, O my soul,
And do not forget any of His benefits;

Who forgives all your sins,
Who heals all your diseases;

Who redeems your life from the pit,
Who crowns you [lavishly] with lovingkindness and tender mercy;

Who satisfies your years with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the [soaring] eagle.(A)


The Lord executes righteousness
And justice for all the oppressed.

He made known His ways [of righteousness and justice] to Moses,
His acts to the children of Israel.

The Lord is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger and abounding in compassion and lovingkindness.(B)

He will not always strive with us,
Nor will He keep His anger forever.
10 
He has not dealt with us according to our sins [as we deserve],
Nor rewarded us [with punishment] according to our wickedness.
11 
For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear and worship Him [with awe-filled respect and deepest reverence].
12 
As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
13 
Just as a father loves his children,
So the Lord loves those who fear and worship Him [with awe-filled respect and deepest reverence].
14 
For He knows our [mortal] frame;
He remembers that we are [merely] dust.

15 
As for man, his days are like grass;
Like a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16 
For the wind passes over it and it is no more,
And its place knows it no longer.
17 
But the lovingkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who [reverently] fear Him,
And His righteousness to children’s children,(C)
18 
To those who honor and keep His covenant,
And remember to do His commandments [imprinting His word on their hearts].

19 
The Lord has established His throne in the heavens,
And His sovereignty rules over all [the universe].
20 
Bless the Lord, you His angels,
You mighty ones who do His commandments,
Obeying the voice of His word!
21 
Bless the Lord, all you His hosts,
You who serve Him and do His will.
22 
Bless the Lord, all you works of His, in all places of His dominion;
Bless and affectionately praise the Lord, O my soul!

Convida-se a louvar a Deus por amor de sua graça

Salmo de Davi

103 Bendize, ó minha alma, ao Senhor, e tudo o que há em mim bendiga o seu santo nome. Bendize, ó minha alma, ao Senhor, e não te esqueças de nenhum de seus benefícios. É ele que perdoa todas as tuas iniquidades e sara todas as tuas enfermidades; quem redime a tua vida da perdição e te coroa de benignidade e de misericórdia; quem enche a tua boca de bens, de sorte que a tua mocidade se renova como a águia.

O Senhor faz justiça e juízo a todos os oprimidos. Fez notórios os seus caminhos a Moisés e os seus feitos, aos filhos de Israel. Misericordioso e piedoso é o Senhor; longânimo e grande em benignidade. Não repreenderá perpetuamente, nem para sempre conservará a sua ira. 10 Não nos tratou segundo os nossos pecados, nem nos retribuiu segundo as nossas iniquidades. 11 Pois quanto o céu está elevado acima da terra, assim é grande a sua misericórdia para com os que o temem. 12 Quanto está longe o Oriente do Ocidente, assim afasta de nós as nossas transgressões. 13 Como um pai se compadece de seus filhos, assim o Senhor se compadece daqueles que o temem. 14 Pois ele conhece a nossa estrutura; lembra-se de que somos pó.

15 Porque o homem, são seus dias como a erva; como a flor do campo, assim floresce; 16 pois, passando por ela o vento, logo se vai, e o seu lugar não conhece mais. 17 Mas a misericórdia do Senhor é de eternidade a eternidade sobre aqueles que o temem, e a sua justiça sobre os filhos dos filhos; 18 sobre aqueles que guardam o seu concerto, e sobre os que se lembram dos seus mandamentos para os cumprirem.

19 O Senhor tem estabelecido o seu trono nos céus, e o seu reino domina sobre tudo. 20 Bendizei ao Senhor, anjos seus, magníficos em poder, que cumpris as suas ordens, obedecendo à voz da sua palavra. 21 Bendizei ao Senhor, todos os seus exércitos, vós, ministros seus, que executais o seu beneplácito. 22 Bendizei ao Senhor, todas as suas obras, em todos os lugares do seu domínio.

Bendize, ó minha alma, ao Senhor.

Salmo 103

Davídico.

Bendiga o Senhor a minha alma!
    Bendiga o Senhor todo o meu ser!
Bendiga o Senhor a minha alma!
    Não esqueça nenhuma de suas bênçãos!
É ele que perdoa todos os seus pecados
e cura todas as suas doenças,
que resgata a sua vida da sepultura
e o coroa de bondade e compaixão,
que enche de bens a sua existência,
    de modo que a sua juventude
    se renova como a águia.
O Senhor faz justiça
e defende a causa dos oprimidos.
Ele manifestou os seus caminhos a Moisés,
os seus feitos aos israelitas.
O Senhor é compassivo e misericordioso,
mui paciente e cheio de amor.
Não acusa sem cessar
nem fica ressentido para sempre;
10 não nos trata conforme os nossos pecados
nem nos retribui conforme as nossas iniqüidades.
11 Pois como os céus se elevam acima da terra,
assim é grande o seu amor
    para com os que o temem;
12 e como o Oriente está longe do Ocidente,
assim ele afasta para longe de nós
    as nossas transgressões.
13 Como um pai tem compaixão de seus filhos,
assim o Senhor
    tem compaixão dos que o temem;
14 pois ele sabe do que somos formados;
lembra-se de que somos pó.
15 A vida do homem é semelhante à relva;
    ele floresce como a flor do campo,
16 que se vai quando sopra o vento
e nem se sabe mais o lugar que ocupava.
17 Mas o amor leal do Senhor,
o seu amor eterno, está com os que o temem,
e a sua justiça com os filhos dos seus filhos,
18 com os que guardam a sua aliança
e se lembram de obedecer aos seus preceitos.

19 O Senhor estabeleceu o seu trono nos céus,
e como rei domina sobre tudo o que existe.
20 Bendigam o Senhor,
    vocês, seus anjos poderosos,
que obedecem à sua palavra.
21 Bendigam o Senhor todos os seus exércitos,
vocês, seus servos, que cumprem a sua vontade.
22 Bendigam o Senhor todas as suas obras
    em todos os lugares do seu domínio.

Bendiga o Senhor a minha alma!
