Let all that I am praise the Lord…

Psalm 103 (New Living Translation)

A psalm of David.

¹ Let all that I am praise the Lord;
      with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name.
² Let all that I am praise the Lord;
      may I never forget the good things he does for me.
³ He forgives all my sins
      and heals all my diseases.
⁴ He redeems me from death
      and crowns me with love and tender mercies.
⁵ He fills my life with good things.
      My youth is renewed like the eagle’s!

⁶ The Lord gives righteousness
      and justice to all who are treated unfairly.

⁷ He revealed his character to Moses
      and his deeds to the people of Israel.
⁸ The Lord is compassionate and merciful,
      slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.
⁹ He will not constantly accuse us,
      nor remain angry forever.
¹⁰ He does not punish us for all our sins;
      he does not deal harshly with us, as we deserve.
¹¹ For his unfailing love toward those who fear him
      is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth.
¹² He has removed our sins as far from us
      as the east is from the west.
¹³ The Lord is like a father to his children,
      tender and compassionate to those who fear him.
¹⁴ For he knows how weak we are;
      he remembers we are only dust.
¹⁵ Our days on earth are like grass;
      like wildflowers, we bloom and die.
¹⁶ The wind blows, and we are gone—
      as though we had never been here.
¹⁷ But the love of the Lord remains forever
      with those who fear him.
   His salvation extends to the children’s children
¹⁸ of those who are faithful to his covenant,
      of those who obey his commandments!

¹⁹ The Lord has made the heavens his throne;
      from there he rules over everything.

²⁰ Praise the Lord, you angels,
      you mighty ones who carry out his plans,
      listening for each of his commands.
²¹ Yes, praise the Lord, you armies of angels
      who serve him and do his will!
²² Praise the Lord, everything he has created,
      everything in all his kingdom.

   Let all that I am praise the Lord.
