Psalm 103
1. BLESS the
LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3. Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4. Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with
lovingkingness and tender merices;
5. Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is
renewed like the eagle's.
6. The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are
oppressed.
7. He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of
Israel.
8. The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in
mercy.
9. He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
10. He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according
to our iniquities.
11. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy
toward them that fear him.
12. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our
transgressions from us.
13. Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that
fear him.
14. For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
15. As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he
flourisheth.
16. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof
shall know it no more.
17. But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon
them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
18. To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his
commandments to do them.
19. The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom
ruleth over all.
20. Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his
commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21. Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do
his pleasure.
22. Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless
the LORD, O my soul.
Psalm 104
1. BLESS the
LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art
clothed with honour and majesty.
2. Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out
the heavens like a curtain:
3. Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the
clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
4. Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
5. Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed
for ever.
6. Thou coverdst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood
above the mountains.
7. At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted
away.
8. They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the
place which thou hast founded for them.
9. Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not
again to cover the earth.
10. He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
11. They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild assess quench
their thirst.
12. By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which
sing among the branches.
13. He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with
the fruit of thy works.
14. He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the
service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
15. And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face
to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.
16. The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which
he hath planted;
17. Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees
are her house.
18. The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for
the conies.
19. He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going
down.
20. Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the
forest do creep forth.
21. The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.
22. The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down
in their dens.
23. Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.
24. O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them
all: the earth is full of thy riches.
25. So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping
innumerable, both small and great beasts.
26. There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to
play therein.
27. These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in
due season.
28. That thou givest them they gather: thou apenest thine hand, they are
filled with good.
29. Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their
breath, they die, and return to their dust.
30. Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest
the face of the earth.
31. The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice
in his works.
32. He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills,
and they smoke.
33. I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to
my God while I have my being.
34. My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
35. Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be
no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.
