Psalm 103

"Let all that I am praise the Lord;
with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name.
Let all that I am praise the Lord;

may I never forget the good things he does for me.
He forgives all my sins

and heals all my diseases.
He redeems me from death

and crowns me with love and tender mercies.
He fills my life with good things.

My youth is renewed like the eagle’s!
The Lord gives righteousness
and justice to all who are treated unfairly.
He revealed his character to Moses
and his deeds to the people of Israel.
The Lord is compassionate and merciful,
 slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.
He will not constantly accuse us,
nor remain angry forever.
He does not punish us for all our sins;
he does not deal harshly with us, as we deserve.
For his unfailing love toward those who fear him
is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth.
He has removed our sins as far from us
as the east is from the west.

The Lord is like a father to his children,tender and compassionate to those who fear him.
For he knows how weak we are;
he remembers we are only dust.

Our days on earth are like grass;
like wildflowers, we bloom and die.
The wind blows, and we are gone—
as though we had never been here.
But the love of the Lord remains forever
with those who fear him.

His salvation extends to the children’s children
of those who are faithful to his covenant,
of those who obey his commandments!

The Lord has made the heavens his throne;
from there he rules over everything.

Praise the Lord, you angels,
you mighty ones who carry out his plans,
listening for each of his commands.
Yes, praise the Lord, you armies of angels
who serve him and do his will!
Praise the Lord, everything he has created,
everything in all his kingdom.

Let all that I am praise the Lord."


You guy's, this scripture bought so much joy to my heart today! There have been a lot of things I have been seeking God about, sins that have been made clear to me in my life and even though the Lord disciplines us, sometimes, if we sit still enough to listen he will answer us and one thing that I have come to learn when the Lord rebukes is that instead of it making you feel hopeless and what not, you feel all the more motivated and encouraged to obey Him and do what's right from then on out! This scripture means so much to me on so many different levels that I wanted to share it with anyone who is feeling discouraged about things in their life. Don't be downcast, rejoice! that He deals with you as his own! He is full of mercy, slow to anger, and abounding in love. He doesn't deal with us as our sins deserve, He is so good and so good to us! I hope this Psalm ministers to you!
