Psalms 103 — ULB

A psalm of David.

103Verse 1I give praise to Yahweh with all my life,
and with all that is within me, I give praise to his holy name.
^{Verse 2}I give praise to Yahweh with all my life,
and I remember all of his good deeds.
^{Verse 3}He forgives all your sins;
he heals all your diseases.
^{Verse 4}He redeems your life from destruction;
he crowns you with covenant faithfulness and acts of tender mercy.
^{Verse 5}He satisfies your life with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle.
^{Verse 6}Yahweh does what is fair
and does acts of justice for all who are oppressed.
^{Verse 7}He made known his ways to Moses,
his deeds to the descendants of Israel.
^{Verse 8}Yahweh is merciful and gracious;
he is patient; he has great covenant loyalty.
^{Verse 9}He will not always discipline;
he is not always angry.
^{Verse 10}He does not deal with us as our sins deserve
or repay us for what our sins demand.
^{Verse 11}For as the skies are high above the earth,
so great is his covenant faithfulness toward those who honor him.
^{Verse 12}As far as the east is from the west,
this is how far he has removed the guilt of our sins from us.
^{Verse 13}As a father has compassion on his children,
so Yahweh has compassion on those who honor him.
^{Verse 14}For he knows how we are formed;
he knows that we are dust.
^{Verse 15}As for man, his days are like grass;
he flourishes like a flower in a field.
^{Verse 16}The wind blows over it, and it disappears,
and no one can even tell where it once grew.
^{Verse 17}But the covenant faithfulness of Yahweh is from everlasting to everlasting on those who honor him.
His righteousness extends to their descendants.
^{Verse 18}They keep his covenant
and remember to obey his instructions.
^{Verse 19}Yahweh has established his throne in the heavens,
and his kingdom rules over everyone.
^{Verse 20}Give praise to Yahweh, you his angels,
you mighty ones who are strong and do his word,
and obey the sound of his word.
^{Verse 21}Give praise to Yahweh, all his hosts,
you are his servants who carry out his will.
^{Verse 22}Give praise to Yahweh, all his creatures,
in all the places where he reigns.
I will give praise to Yahweh with all my life.
