Moff PSA Chapter 103

103 A song of David.

103 Bless the Eternal, O my soul,

let all my being bless his sacred name;

2 bless the Eternal, O my soul,

remember all his benefits;

3 he pardons all your sins,

and all your sicknesses he heals,

4 he saves your life from death,

he crowns you with his love and pity,

5 he gives you all your heart’s desire,

renewing your youth like an eagle’s.

6 The Eternal vindicates the cause of any who are wronged;

7 he let Moses see this purpose,

and Israel his methods.

8 The Eternal is pitiful and gracious,

slow to be angry, rich in love;

9 he will not always chafe,

he will not hold to his anger for all time;

10 he treats us not according to our sins,

he deals not with us as our guilt deserves;

11 but, high as heaven is over earth,

so vast his love is to his worshippers;

12 far as the east is from the west,

so far he puts our sins away from us.

13 As a father pities his children,

so the Eternal pities his worshippers;

14 he knows what we are made of,

he remembers we are dust.

15 Poor man! — his days are like the grass,

he blooms like a flower in the meadow;

16 at the breath of a breeze it is gone,

and its place never sees it again.

17 But the Eternal’s love is everlasting,

his loyalty goes on to children’s children,

18 when they obey his compact

and remember to do his bidding.

19 In heaven has the Eternal fixed his throne,

and his dominion covers all the world.

20 Bless the Eternal, O his angels,

strong spirits who obey his word!

21 Bless the Eternal, all his hosts,

servants who carry out his will!

22 Bless the Eternal, all his works,

in every sphere of his dominion!
