Psalm Challenge 103
as we go on through uncertain waters,
as David did,
as every human does,
finding even at the end it was better to look around and see what you have to be thankful for.

Psalm 103 (Douay-Rheims)
1 (102-1) Bless the Lord, O my soul: and let all that is within me bless his
holy name. 2 (102-2) Bless the
Lord, O my soul, and never forget all he hath done for thee.
3 (102-3) Who forgiveth all thy iniquities: who healeth all thy diseases.
4 (102-4) Who redeemeth
thy life from destruction: who crowneth thee with mercy and compassion.
5 (102-5) Who
satisfieth thy desire with good things: thy youth shall be renewed like the
eagle’s. 6 (102-6) The Lord doth
mercies, and judgment for all that suffer wrong. 7 (102-7) He hath made his ways known to Moses: his wills
to the children of Israel. 8 (102-8) The Lord is
compassionate and merciful: longsuffering and plenteous in mercy.
9 (102-9) He will not always be angry: nor will he
threaten for ever. 
10 (102-10) He hath not
dealt with us according to our sins: nor rewarded us according to our
iniquities. 11 (102-11) For
according to the height of the heaven above the earth: he hath strengthened his
mercy towards them that fear him. 
12 (102-12)
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our iniquities from
us. 13 (102-13) As a father
hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that fear
him: 14 (102-14) For he
knoweth our frame. He remembereth that we are dust: 15 (102-15) Man’s days are as grass, as the flower of the
field so shall he flourish. 16 (102-16) For the
spirit shall pass in him, and he shall not be: and he shall know his place no
more. 17 (102-17) But the
mercy of the Lord is from eternity and unto eternity upon them that fear him:
And his justice unto children’s children, 18 (102-18)
To such as keep his covenant, And are mindful of his commandments to do them.
19 (102-19) The lord
hath prepared his throne in heaven: and his kingdom shall rule over all.
20 (102-20) Bless the
Lord, all ye his angels: you that are mighty in strength, and execute his word,
hearkening to the voice of his orders. 21 (102-21)
Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts: you ministers of his that do his will.
22 (102-22) Bless the
Lord, all his works: in every place of his dominion, O my soul, bless thou the
Lord.
3 (102-3) Who forgiveth all thy iniquities: who healeth all thy diseases.
10 (102-10) He hath not
dealt with us according to our sins: nor rewarded us according to our
iniquities. 11 (102-11) For
according to the height of the heaven above the earth: he hath strengthened his
mercy towards them that fear him. 
12 (102-12)
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our iniquities from
us. 13 (102-13) As a father
hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that fear
him: 14 (102-14) For he
knoweth our frame. He remembereth that we are dust: 15 (102-15) Man’s days are as grass, as the flower of the
field so shall he flourish. 16 (102-16) For the
spirit shall pass in him, and he shall not be: and he shall know his place no
more. 17 (102-17) But the
mercy of the Lord is from eternity and unto eternity upon them that fear him:
And his justice unto children’s children, 18 (102-18)
To such as keep his covenant, And are mindful of his commandments to do them.
19 (102-19) The lord
hath prepared his throne in heaven: and his kingdom shall rule over all.
20 (102-20) Bless the
Lord, all ye his angels: you that are mighty in strength, and execute his word,
hearkening to the voice of his orders. 21 (102-21)
Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts: you ministers of his that do his will.
22 (102-22) Bless the
Lord, all his works: in every place of his dominion, O my soul, bless thou the
Lord.
