"I bless the holy name of God with all my heart. Yes, I will bless the Lord and not forget the glorious things he does for me.

"He forgives all my sins.
He heals me.
He ransoms me from hell
He surrounds me with loving kindness and tender mercies.
He fills my life with good things!

"My youth is renewed like the eagle's!
He gives justice to all who are treated unfairly.
He revealed his will and nature to Moses and the people of Israel.

"He is merciful and tender toward those who don't deserve it;
he is slow to get angry and full of kindness and love.
He never bears a grudge;
nor remains angry forever.
He has not punished us as we deserve for all our sins,
for his mercy toward those who fear and honor him is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth.

"He has removed sins as far away from us as the east is from the west.
He is lile a father to us, tender and sympathetic to those who reverence him."

~ Psalm 103: 1 - 12 LAB

Bible Commentary:  "David's (writer) praise focused on God's glorious acts. It is easy to complain about life, but David's list gives us plenty for which to praise God---his love, forgiveness, salvation, kindness, mercy, justice patience, tenderness---we receive all of these without deserving any of them. No matter now difficult our life's journey, we can always count our blessings---past, present, and future. When we feel like we have nothing for which to praise God, reread David's list."
