Psalm 103

New Coverdale Version

Praise the Lord, O my soul, * and all that is within me, praise his holy Name.

Praise the Lord, O my soul, * and forget not all his benefits:

Who forgives all your sin * and heals all your infirmities,

Who saves your life from the pit * and crowns you with mercy and loving-kindness,

Who satisfies you with good things, * renewing your youth like an eagle’s.

The Lord executes righteousness and judgment * for all those who are oppressed with wrong.

He showed his ways to Moses, * his works to the children of Israel.

The Lord is full of compassion and mercy, * long-suffering and of great goodness.

He will not always chide us, * neither will he keep his anger for ever.

He has not dealt with us according to our sins, * nor rewarded us according to our wickedness.

For as the heavens are high above the earth, * so great is his mercy also toward those who fear him.

As far as the east is from the west, * so far has he set our sins from us.

As a father pities his own children, * so is the Lord merciful to those who fear him.

For he knows whereof we are made; * he remembers that we are but dust.

The days of man are as grass; * he flourishes as a flower of the field.

For as soon as the wind goes over it, it is gone, * and its place shall know it no more.

But the merciful goodness of the Lord endures for ever and ever upon those who fear him, * and his righteousness upon children’s children,

Even upon those who keep his covenant * and think upon his commandments to do them.

The Lord has prepared his throne in heaven, * and his kingdom rules over all.

O praise the Lord, you angels of his, you that excel in strength, * you that fulfill his commandment, and hearken unto the voice of his words.

O praise the Lord, all you his hosts, * you servants of his that do his pleasure.

O speak good of the Lord, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion; * praise the Lord, O my soul.
