Psalm 103

Legacy Standard Bible

⁶ Yahweh ^(J)performs righteous deeds
And judgments for all who are ^(K)oppressed.
⁷ He ^(L)made known His ways to Moses,
His ^(M)acts to the sons of Israel.
⁸ Yahweh is ^(N)compassionate and gracious,
^(O)Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness.
⁹ He ^(P)will not always contend with us,
And He will not ^(Q)keep His anger forever.
¹⁰ He has ^(R)not dealt with us according to our sins,
And He has not rewarded us according to our iniquities.
¹¹ For as high ^(S)as the heavens are above the earth,
So great is His lovingkindness toward those who ^[b]fear Him.
¹² As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He ^(T)removed our transgressions from us.
^13 (U)As a father has compassion on his children,
So Yahweh has compassion on those who ^[c]fear Him.
¹⁴ For ^(V)He Himself knows ^[d]our form;
He ^(W)remembers that we are but ^(X)dust.

¹⁵ As for man, his days are ^(Y)like grass;
As a ^(Z)flower of the field, so he flowers.
¹⁶ When the ^(AA)wind has passed over it, it is no more,
And its ^(AB)place acknowledges it no longer.
¹⁷ But the ^(AC)lovingkindness of Yahweh is from everlasting to everlasting on those who ^[e]fear Him,
And His ^[f]righteousness ^(AD)to children’s children,
¹⁸ To ^(AE)those who keep His covenant
And remember His precepts to do them.

¹⁹ Yahweh has established His ^(AF)throne in the heavens,
And His ^(AG)kingdom rules over ^[g]all.
²⁰ Bless Yahweh, you ^(AH)His angels,
^(AI)Mighty in strength, who ^(AJ)perform His word,
^(AK)Obeying the voice of His word!
²¹ Bless Yahweh, all you ^(AL)His hosts,
You ^(AM)who serve Him, doing His will.
²² Bless Yahweh, ^(AN)all you works of His,
In all places of His rule;
Bless Yahweh, O my soul!
