Daily praise.

Psalm 103


1My whole being, praise the Lord;
    all my being, praise his holy name.
2My whole being, praise the Lord
    and do not forget all his kindnesses.
3He forgives all my sins
    and heals all my diseases.
4He saves my life from the grave
    and loads me with love and mercy.
5He satisfies me with good things
    and makes me young again, like the eagle.


6The Lord does what is right and fair
    for all who are wronged by others.
7He showed his ways to Moses
    and his deeds to the people of Israel.
8The Lord shows mercy and is kind.
    He does not become angry quickly, and he has
          great love.
9He will not always accuse us,
    and he will not be angry forever.
10He has not punished us as our sins should be punished;
    he has bit repaid us for the evil we have done.
11As high as the sky is above the earth,
    so great is his love for those who respect him
12He has taken our sins away from us
    as far as the east is from the west.
13The Lord has mercy on those who respect him,
    as a father has mercy on his children.
14He knows how we were made;
    he remembers that we are dust.


Psalm 139


13You made my whole being;
    you formed me in my mother's body.
14I praise you because you made me in an amazing and
          wonderful way.
    What you have done is wonderful.
     I know this very well.
15You saw my bones being formed
     as I took shape in my mother's body.
When I was put together there,
16     you saw my body as it was formed.
All the days planned for me
     were written in your book
     before I was one day old.
