Read the chapter

1Bless the Lord, my soul, And all that is within me, bless His holy name. ✦ 2Bless the Lord, my soul, And do not forget any of His benefits; ✦ 3Who pardons all your guilt, Who heals all your diseases; ✦ 4Who redeems your life from the pit, Who crowns you with favor and compassion; ✦ 5Who satisfies your years with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle. ✦ 6¶The Lord performs righteous deeds And judgments for all who are oppressed. ✦ 7He made known His ways to Moses, His deeds to the sons of Israel. ✦ 8The Lord is compassionate and gracious, Slow to anger and abounding in mercy. ✦ 9He will not always contend with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever. ✦ 10He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor rewarded us according to our guilty deeds. ✦ 11For as high as the heavens are above the earth, So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him. ✦ 12As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our wrongdoings from us. ✦ 13Just as a father has compassion on his children, So the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him. ✦ 14For He Himself knows our form; He is mindful that we are nothing but dust. ✦ 15¶As for man, his days are like grass; Like a flower of the field, so he flourishes. ✦ 16When the wind has passed over it, it is no more, And its place no longer knows about it. ✦ 17But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting for those who fear Him, And His justice to the children’s children, ✦ 18To those who keep His covenant And remember His precepts, so as to do them. ✦ 19¶The Lord has established His throne in the heavens, And His sovereignty rules over all. ✦ 20Bless the Lord, you His angels, Mighty in strength, who perform His word, Obeying the voice of His word! ✦ 21Bless the Lord, all you His angels, You who serve Him, doing His will. ✦ 22Bless the Lord, all you works of His, In all places of His dominion; Bless the Lord, 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.
