Psalms

Reflecting on God's mercy
Psalm 102 (103)

Bless the Lord, O my soul! May all that is in me bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all the gifts from him.

Who pardons all your sins and heals all your infirmities.

Who ransoms your life from corruption and crowns you with his love and mercies.

...He has not dealt with us as our sins demand, nor does he repay our evil deeds.

For as high as the heavens stand over the earth, so far has the Lord extended his love for those who fear him.

As far as the East is from the West, so far has he removed our sins from us.

As a kind father is to his children, so is the Lord to those who fear him.

For He knows well how we were formed: remembers: we are only made of dust...

Indeed, we are but made of dust...and yet we may cry out and he will hear our plea!

Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
