Would you reach for a Bible and turn to the book of Psalms, Psalm 103, and follow along for this reading of God's holy word.

Psalm 103, bless the Lord, O my soul and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, oh my soul, and forget

not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your

and inequities your life from the pit,

who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,

who satisfies you with good as long as you live so that your youth is renewed like the eagles.

The Lord works vindication and justice for all who are oppressed.

He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to the people of Israel.

The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and ab bounding in steadfast love.

He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger forever.

He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor requit us according to our inequities.

For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those

who fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far

does he remove our transgressions from us. As a father pities his children, so the Lord pities those who fear him.

For he knows our frame. He remembers that we are dust.

As for man, his days are like grass. are dust.

As for man his days are like grass.

He flourishes like a flower of the field, for the wind passes over it and it is gone and its place knows it no more.

But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon those who fear him

and his righteousness to children's children, to those who keep

his covenant and remember to do his commandments.

The Lord has established his throne in the heavens and his kingdom rules over all.
