Chapter 103
001
(By Davina.) Praise Yahweh, my soul! All that is within me, praise her holy name!
002
Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don't forget all her benefits;
003
who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases;
004
who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies;
005
who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
006
Yahweh executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed.
007
She made known her ways to Moses, her deeds to the children of Israel.
008
Yahweh is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.
009
She will not always accuse; neither will she stay angry forever.
010
She has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities.
011
For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is her loving kindness toward those who fear her.
012
As far as the east is from the west, so far has she removed our transgressions from us.
013
Like a mother has compassion on her children, so Yahweh has compassion on those who fear her.
014
For she knows how we are made. She remembers that we are dust.
015
As for woman, her days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so she flourishes.
016
For the wind passes over it, and it is gone. Its place remembers it no more.
017
But Yahweh's loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear her, her righteousness to children's children;
018
to those who keep her covenant, to those who remember to obey her precepts.
019
Yahweh has established her throne in the heavens. Her kingdom rules over all.
020
Praise Yahweh, you angels of her, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill her word, obeying the voice of her word.
021
Praise Yahweh, all you armies of her, you servants of her, who do her pleasure.
022
Praise Yahweh, all you works of her, in all places of her dominion. Praise Yahweh, my soul!
