Psalm 103, read first from the new American standard Bible, and then from the common English

Bible.

A Psalm of David.

Bless the Lord, my soul, and all that is within me bless his holy name.

Bless the Lord, my soul, and do not forget any of his benefits, who partens all your guilt,

who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with

favor and compassion, who satisfies your years with good things, so that your youth is

renewed like the eagle.

The Lord performs righteous deeds and judgments for all who are oppressed.

He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the sons of Israel.

The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding and mercy.

He will not always contend with us nor will he keep his anger forever.

He has not dealt with us according to our sins nor rewarded us according to our guilty

deeds.

For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his mercy toward those who

fear him.

As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our wrongdoings from us, just

as a father has compassion on his children.

So the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.

For he himself knows our form.

He is mindful that we are nothing but dust.

As for man, his days are like grass, like a flower of the field so he flourishes.
