Psalm 103
1 Bless the LORD, O my soul,*
and all that is within me, bless his holy Name.
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul,*
and forget not all his benefits.
3 He forgives all your sins*
and heals all your infirmities;
4 He redeems your life from the grave*
and crowns you with mercy and loving-kindness;
5 He satisfies you with good things,*
and your youth is renewed like an eagle’s.
6 The LORD executes righteousness*
and judgment for all who are oppressed.
7 He made his ways known to Moses*
and his works to the children of Israel.
8 The LORD is full of compassion and mercy,*
slow to anger and of great kindness.
9 He will not always accuse us,*
nor will he keep his anger for ever.
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins,*
nor rewarded us according to our wickedness.
11 For as the heavens are high above the earth,*
so is his mercy great upon those who fear him.
12 As far as the east is from the west,*
so far has he removed our sins from us.
13 As a father cares for his children,*
so does the LORD care for those who fear him.
14 For he himself knows whereof we are made;*
he remembers that we are but dust.
15 Our days are like the grass;*
we flourish like a flower of the field;
16 When the wind goes over it, it is gone,*
and its place shall know it no more.
17 But the merciful goodness of the LORD endures for ever on those who fear him,*
and his righteousness on children’s children;
18 On those who keep his covenant*
and remember his commandments and do them.
19 The LORD has set his throne in heaven,*
and his kingship has dominion over all.
20 Bless the LORD, you angels of his,
you mighty ones who do his bidding,*
and hearken to the voice of his word.
21 Bless the LORD, all you his hosts,*
you ministers of his who do his will.
22 Bless the LORD, all you works of his,
in all places of his dominion;*
bless the LORD, O my soul.
Collect of the Day – Tuesday in Easter Week
O God, who by the glorious resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ destroyed death and brought life and immortality to light: Grant that we, who have been raised with him, may abide in his presence and rejoice in the hope of eternal glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be dominion and praise for ever and ever. Amen.
