My Favorite Psalm

Psalm 103

Bless the Lord, O my soul;
and all that is within me, bless
his holy name.
Bless the Lord,O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits:
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities;
who healeth all thy diseases;
Who redeemeth thy life from
destruction; who crowneth thee
with lovingkindness and tender
mercies;
Who satisfieth thy mouth with
good things; so that thy youth
is renewes like the eagle's.
The Lord executeth righteousness
and judgment for all that are oppressed.
He made known his ways unto Moses,
his acts unto the children of Israel.
The Lord is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and plenteous
in mercy.
He will not always chide:
neither will he keep his anger for ever.
He hath not delt with us after our
sins;nor rewarded us according
to our iniquities.
For as the heaven is high above
the earth,so great is his mercy toward
them that fear him.
As far as the ease is from the west,
so far hath he removed our
transgressions from us.
Like as a father pitieth his
children,so the Lord pitieth
them that fear him.
For he knowth our frame; he
remembereth that we are dust.
As for man, his days are as grass:
as a flower of the field,so he
flourisheth.
For the wind passeth over
it and it is gone; and the place
thereof shall know it no more.
But the mercy of the Lord is from
everlasting to everlasting upon
them that fear him,and his
righteousness unto children's children;
To such as keep his covenant,and to
those that remember his commandments
to do them.
The Lord hath prepared his throne in
the heavens; and his kingdom
ruleth over all.
Bless the Lord,ye his angels,that excel
in strength,that do his commandments,
hearkening unto the voice of his word.
Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts;ye ministers
of his, that do his pleasure.
Bless the Lord, all his works in all places
of his dominion:
bless the Lord, O my soul.
