Bless the Lord O My Soul


God Frees and Redeems
Lest We Forget
Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5) 

 

 

Psalm 103:1-10   The Voice

Psalm 103

A song of David.

1 O, my soul, come, praise the Eternal
    with all that is in me—body, emotions, mind, and will—every part of who I am—
    praise His holy name.
2 O, my soul, come, praise the Eternal;
    sing a song from a grateful heart;
    sing and never forget all the good He has done.
3 Despite all your many offenses, He forgives and releases you.
    More than any doctor, He heals your diseases.
4 He reaches deep into the pit to deliver you from death.
    He crowns you with unfailing love and compassion like a king.
When your soul is famished and withering,
    He fills you with good and beautiful things, satisfying you as long as you live.
    He makes you strong like an eagle, restoring your youth.

6 When people are crushed, wronged, enslaved, raped, murdered,
    the Eternal is just;
    He makes the wrongs right.
7 He showed Moses His ways;
    He allowed His people Israel to see His wonders and acts of power.
8 The Eternal is compassionate and merciful.
    When we cross all the lines, He is patient with us.
    When we struggle against Him, He lovingly stays with us—changing, convicting, prodding;
9 He will not constantly criticize,
    nor will He hold a grudge forever.
10 Thankfully, God does not punish us for our sins and depravity as we deserve.
    In His mercy, He tempers justice with peace.

For Reflection

When we pray, we reinforce our faith—stating how we feel about current affairs or what we believe strengthens us. 

Pray

Pray and let the Holy Spirit guide your life. Praise God. Sing a song of a grateful heart. Pray and remember all the good God has done. Pray and become engrossed in the beauty of God. Pray and remember God's love, compassion, and patience. Pray and remember God's mercy and justice.
