Psalms 103:6-22
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 103
6The Lord performs righteous deeds And judgments for all who are oppressed. 7He made known His ways to Moses, His deeds to the sons of Israel. 8The Lord is compassionate and gracious, Slow to anger and abounding in mercy. 9He will not always contend with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever. 10He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor rewarded us according to our guilty deeds. 11For as high as the heavens are above the earth, So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him. 12As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our wrongdoings from us. 13Just as a father has compassion on his children, So the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him. 14For He Himself knows our form; He is mindful that we are nothing but dust. 15As for man, his days are like grass; Like a flower of the field, so he flourishes. 16When the wind has passed over it, it is no more, And its place no longer knows about it. 17But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting for those who fear Him, And His justice to the children’s children, 18To those who keep His covenant And remember His precepts, so as to do them. 19The Lord has established His throne in the heavens, And His sovereignty rules over all. 20Bless the Lord, you His angels, Mighty in strength, who perform His word, Obeying the voice of His word! 21Bless the Lord, all you His angels, You who serve Him, doing His will. 22Bless the Lord, all you works of His, In all places of His dominion; Bless the Lord, my soul!King James Version
Chapter 103
6The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. 7He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. 8The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. 9He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. 10He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 11For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. 12As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. 13Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. 14For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. 15As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. 16For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. 17But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children; 18To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
19The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
20Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
22Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.

Chapter 103
6The Lord executes acts of righteousness and justice for all the oppressed. 7He revealed his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel. 8The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in faithful love. 9He will not always accuse us or be angry forever.
10He has not dealt with us as our sins deserve or repaid us according to our iniquities.
11For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his faithful love toward those who fear him.
12As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
13As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.
14For he knows what we are made of, remembering that we are dust.
15As for man, his days are like grass -- he blooms like a flower of the field;
16when the wind passes over it, it vanishes, and its place is no longer known.
17But from eternity to eternity the Lord's faithful love is toward those who fear him, and his righteousness toward the grandchildren
18of those who keep his covenant, who remember to observe his precepts.
19The Lord has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all.
20Bless the Lord, all his angels of great strength, who do his word, obedient to his command.
21Bless the Lord, all his armies, his servants who do his will.
22Bless the Lord, all his works in all the places where he rules. My soul, bless the Lord!
New Living Translation
7He revealed his character to Moses and his deeds to the people of Israel.
8The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.
9He will not constantly accuse us, nor remain angry forever.
10He does not punish us for all our sins; he does not deal harshly with us, as we deserve.
11For his unfailing love toward those who fear him is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth.
12He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west.
13The Lord is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him.
14For he knows how weak we are; he remembers we are only dust.
15Our days on earth are like grass; like wildflowers, we bloom and die.
16The wind blows, and we are gone — as though we had never been here.
17But the love of the Lord remains forever with those who fear him. His salvation extends to the children’s children
18of those who are faithful to his covenant, of those who obey his commandments!

6The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed. 7He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel: 8The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. 9He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; 10he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. 11For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;
12as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
13As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;
14for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.
15The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field;
16the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.
17But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD's love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children--
