[00:00:04] Psalm 103, A Psalm of David Bless and affectionately praise the Lord, O my soul, and all that is deep within me. Bless His holy name. Bless and affectionately praise the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget any of His benefits.
[00:00:32] Who forgives all your sins. Who heals all your diseases. Who redeems your life from the pit. Who crowns you lavishly with loving kindness and tender mercy. Who satisfies your years with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the soaring eagle.
[00:00:58] The Lord executes righteousness and justice for all the oppressed. He made known His ways of righteousness and justice to Moses. His acts to the children of Israel. The Lord is merciful and gracious. Slow to anger and abounding in compassion and loving kindness.
[00:01:26] He will not always strive with us. Nor will He keep His anger forever. He has not dealt with us according to our sins as we deserve. Nor rewarded us with punishment according to our wickedness. For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His loving kindness toward those who fear and worship Him
[00:01:56] with awe-filled respect and deepest reverence. As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. Just as a father loves his children, so the Lord loves those who fear and worship Him with awe-filled respect and deepest reverence.
[00:02:23] For He knows our mortal frame. He remembers that we are merely dust. As for man, His days are like grass, like a flower of the field. So He flourishes. For the wind passes over it, and it is no more, and its place knows it no longer. But the loving kindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting
[00:02:52] on those who reverently fear Him and His righteousness to children's children, to those who honor and keep His covenant. And remember to do His commandments, imprinting His word on their hearts. The Lord has established His throne in the heavens, and His sovereignty rules over all the universe. Bless the Lord,
[00:03:23] you His angels, you mighty ones who do His commandments, obeying the voice of His word. Bless the Lord, all you His hosts, you who serve Him and do His will. Bless the Lord, all you works of His, in all places of His dominion. Bless and affectionately praise the Lord,
[00:03:53] O my soul. Thank you for tuning in to the Audio Bible Podcast today. This has been Psalm chapter 103, from the Word of God.
