Psalms 103 ICB

Praise to the God of Love

1 All that I am, praise the Lord.Everything in me, praise his holy name.

2 My whole being, praise the Lord.Do not forget all his kindnesses.

3 The Lord forgives me for all my sins.He heals all my diseases.

4 He saves my life from the grave.He loads me with love and mercy.

5 He satisfies me with good things.He makes me young again, like the eagle.

6 The Lord does what is right and fairfor all who are wronged by others.

7 He showed his ways to Mosesand his miracles to the people of Israel.

8 The Lord shows mercy and is kind.He does not become angry quickly, and he has great love.

9 He will not always scold us.He will not be angry forever.

10 He has not punished us as our sins should be punished.He has not repaid us for the evil we have done.

11 As high as the sky is above the earth,so great is his love for those who respect him.

12 He has taken our sins away from usas far as the east is from west.

13 The Lord has mercy on those who fear him,as a father has mercy on his children.

14 He knows how we were made.He remembers that we are dust.

15 Human life is like grass.We grow like a flower in the field.

16 After the wind blows, the flower is gone.There is no sign of where it was.

17 But the Lord’s love for those who fear himcontinues forever and ever.And his goodness continues to their grandchildren

18 and to those who keep his agreementand who remember to obey his orders.

19 The Lord has set his throne in heaven.And his kingdom rules over everything.

20 You who are his angels, praise the Lord.You are the mighty warriors who do what he says.Listen to what he says.

21 You, his armies, praise the Lord.You are his servants who do what he wants.

22 Everything the Lord has madeshould praise him in all the places he rules.My whole being, praise the Lord.
