katapi HOME Psalms 103:1 - God is Love.  Psalm 103(v102)

103 1 Bless Yahweh, O my soul;
and all that is within me, bless his holy name!
103 2 Bless Yahweh, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits,
103 3 who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases,
103 4 who redeems your life from the Pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
103 5 who satisfies you with good as long as you live
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

103 6 Yahweh works vindication
and justice for all who are oppressed.
103 7 He made known his ways to Moses,
his acts to the people of Israel.
103 8 Yahweh is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
103 9 He will not always chide,
nor will he keep his anger for ever.
103 10 He does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor requite us according to our iniquities.
103 11 For as the heavens are high above the earth,
so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
103 12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
103 13 As a father pities his children,
so Yahweh pities those who fear him.
103 14 For he knows our frame;
he remembers that we are dust.

103 15 As for man, his days are like grass;
he flourishes like a flower of the field;
103 16 for the wind passes over it,
and it is gone, and its place knows it no more.
103 17 But the steadfast love of Yahweh
is from everlasting to everlasting upon those who fear him,
and his righteousness to children's children,
103 18 to those who keep his covenant
and remember to do his commandments.

103 19 Yahweh has established his throne in the heavens,
and his kingdom rules over all.
103 20 Bless Yahweh, O you his angels,
you mighty ones who do his word,
hearkening to the voice of his word!
103 21 Bless Yahweh, all his hosts,
his ministers that do his will!
103 22 Bless Yahweh, all his works,
in all places of his dominion.
Bless Yahweh, O my soul!
