Read the chapter

1Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! ✦ 2Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: ✦ 3Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, ✦ 4Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, ✦ 5Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. ✦ 6The Lord executes righteousness And justice for all who are oppressed. ✦ 7He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel. ✦ 8The Lord is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. ✦ 9He will not always strive with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever. ✦ 10He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor punished us according to our iniquities. ✦ 11For as the heavens are high 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 transgressions from us. ✦ 13As a father pities his children, So the Lord pities those who fear Him. ✦ 14For He knows our frame; 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, And its place remembers it no more. ✦ 17But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting On those who fear Him, And His righteousness to children’s children, ✦ 18To such as keep His covenant, And to those who remember His commandments to do them. ✦ 19The Lord has established His throne in heaven, And His kingdom rules over all. ✦ 20Bless the Lord, you His angels, Who excel in strength, who do His word, Heeding the voice of His word. ✦ 21Bless the Lord, all you His hosts, You ministers of His, who do His pleasure. ✦ 22Bless the Lord, all His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless the Lord, O 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.
