Psalm 103

Psalm 103 (NLT)

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.


David was so good at praising the LORD no matter what his circumstance was. I love this Psalm because it serves as a reminder for me of all the things the LORD has done for me. I have much to be thankful of and to praise HIM for! Sometimes I have a hard time remembering that. Thank YOU LORD for helping me to remember!!
