Psalm 102
By David
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and everything within me, bless His holy name.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His rewards:
Who is merciful to all your transgressions, Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from corruption, Who crowns you with mercy and compassion,
Who satisfies your desire with good things; and your youth is renewed like the eagles.
The Lord shows mercies and judgement to all who are wronged.
He made known His ways to Moses, the things He willed to the sons of Israel.
The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.
He will not become angry to the end, nor will He be wrathful forever;
He did not deal with us according to our sins, nor reward us according to our transgressions;
For according to the height of heaven from earth, so the Lord reigns in mercy over those who fear Him;
As far as the east is from the west, so He removes our transgressions from us.
As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him,
For He knows how he formed us; He remembers we are dust.
As for man, his days are like grass, as a flower of the field, so he flourishes;
For the wind passes through it, and it shall not remain; and it shall no longer know its place.
But the mercy of the Lord is from age to age upon those who fear Him,
And His righteousness upon children’s children, to such as keep His covenant
And remember His commandments, to do them.
The Lord prepared His throne in heaven, and HIs kingdom rules over all.
Bless the Lord, all you His angels, mighty in strength, who do His word, so as to hear the voice of His words.
Bless the Lord, all you His hosts, His ministers who do His will;
Bless the Lord, all His works, in all places of His dominion;
Bless the Lord, O my soul.
