Read the chapter

1By David. Praise Yahweh, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name! ✦ 2Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits; ✦ 3who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases; ✦ 4who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies; ✦ 5who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. ✦ 6Yahweh executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed. ✦ 7He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the children of Israel. ✦ 8Yahweh is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness. ✦ 9He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever. ✦ 10He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities. ✦ 11For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him. ✦ 12As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. ✦ 13Like a father has compassion on his children, so Yahweh has compassion on those who fear him. ✦ 14For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust. ✦ 15As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. ✦ 16For the wind passes over it, and it is gone. Its place remembers it no more. ✦ 17But Yahweh’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children’s children; ✦ 18to those who keep his covenant, to those who remember to obey his precepts. ✦ 19Yahweh has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all. ✦ 20Praise Yahweh, you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, obeying the voice of his word. ✦ 21Praise Yahweh, all you armies of his, you servants of his, who do his pleasure. ✦ 22Praise Yahweh, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion. Praise Yahweh, my soul! ✦

Christ at the center

The Psalms are Christ's own prayer book and a gallery of his portraits — the suffering one of Psalm 22, the risen Lord of Psalm 16, the priest-king of Psalm 110, the Son to whom the nations are given.

How Psalms 103 points to him is part of the one story that runs through all Scripture — meet Jesus at the heart of the web, or follow a trail that traces him from Genesis to Revelation.
