Psalms 103 CEVDCUS06

The Lord's Wonderful Love

(By David.)

1 With all my heartI praise the Lord,and with all that I amI praise his holy name!

2 With all my heartI praise the Lord!I will never forgethow kind he has been.

3 The Lord forgives our sins,heals us when we are sick,

4 and protects us from death.His kindness and loveare a crown on our heads.

5 Each day that we live,he provides for our needsand gives us the strengthof a young eagle.

6 For all who are mistreated,the Lord brings justice.

7 He taught his Law to Mosesand showed all Israelwhat he could do.

8 The Lord is merciful!He is kind and patient,and his love never fails.

9 The Lord won't always be angryand point out our sins;

10 he doesn't punish usas our sins deserve.

11 How great is God's love for allwho worship him?Greater than the distancebetween heaven and earth!

12 How far has the Lord takenour sins from us?Farther than the distancefrom east to west!

13 Just as parents are kindto their children,the Lord is kindto all who worship him,

14 because he knowswe are made of dust.

15 We humans are like grassor wild flowersthat quickly bloom.

16 But a scorching wind blows,and they quickly witherto be forever forgotten.

17 The Lord is always kindto those who worship him,and he keeps his promisesto their descendants

18 who faithfully obey him.

19 God has set up his kingdomin heaven, and he rulesthe whole creation.

20 All of you mighty angels,who obey God's commands,come and praise your Lord!

21 All of you thousandswho serve and obey God,come and praise your Lord!

22 All of God's creationand all that he rules,come and praise your Lord!With all my heartI praise the Lord!
