Day-20

Psalm 103

Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: 3 Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, 4 Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, 5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. 6 The Lord executes righteousness And justice for all who are oppressed. 7 He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel. 8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. 9 He will not always strive with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever. 10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor punished us according to our iniquities. 11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; 12 As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. 13 As a father pities his children, So the Lord pities those who fear Him. 14 For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust. 15 As for man, his days are like grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. 16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone, And its place remembers it no more.17 But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting On those who fear Him, And His righteousness to children’s children, 18 To such as keep His covenant, And to those who remember His commandments to do them. 19 The Lord has established His throne in heaven, And His kingdom rules over all. 20 Bless the Lord, you His angels, Who excel in strength, who do His word, Heeding the voice of His word. 21 Bless the Lord, all you His hosts, You ministers of His, who do His pleasure. 22 Bless the Lord, all His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul!


詩103

我的心哪,你要稱頌耶和華!凡在我裏面的,也要稱頌他的聖名!2 我的心哪,你要稱頌耶和華!不可忘記他的一切恩惠!3 他赦免你的一切罪孽,醫治你的一切疾病。4 他救贖你的命脫離死亡,以仁愛和慈悲為你的冠冕。5 他用美物使你所願的得以知足,以致你如鷹返老還童。6 耶和華施行公義,為一切受屈的人伸冤。7 他使摩西知道他的法則,叫以色列人曉得他的作為。8 耶和華有憐憫,有恩典,不輕易發怒,且有豐盛的慈愛。9 他不長久責備,也不永遠懷怒。10 他沒有按我們的罪過待我們,也沒有照我們的罪孽報應我們。11 天離地何等的高,他的慈愛向敬畏他的人也是何等的大!12 東離西有多遠,他叫我們的過犯離我們也有多遠!13 父親怎樣憐恤他的兒女,耶和華也怎樣憐恤敬畏他的人!14 因為他知道我們的本體,思念我們不過是塵土。15 至於世人,他的年日如草一樣。他發旺如野地的花,16 經風一吹,便歸無有;它的原處也不再認識它。17 但耶和華的慈愛歸於敬畏他的人,從亙古到永遠;他的公義也歸於子子孫孫。 8 就是那些遵守他的約、記念他的訓詞而遵行的人。19 耶和華在天上立定寶座;他的權柄(原文是國)統管萬有。20 聽從他命令、成全他旨意、有大能的天使,都要稱頌耶和華!21 你們作他的諸軍,作他的僕役,行他所喜悅的,都要稱頌耶和華!22 你們一切被他造的,在他所治理的各處,都要稱頌耶和華!我的心哪,你要稱頌耶和華!

  1. Sometimes, a journey that we have been through or a circumstance that we have experienced are inexpressible in words but they are crystal clear deeply in our heart and soul? Psalm 103 is one of these journeys and experiences.

    Join King David to praise our God with a thanksgiving heart.
