Lyrics
Verse 1

Bless Adonai, O my soul,
Let all I am praise His Name!
Forget none of His benefits—
He forgives, He heals, He saves.

He redeems my life from the pit,
He surrounds me with grace and love.
He satisfies my years with good,
Like an eagle, I rise above.

Chorus

Bless Adonai, O my soul!
He is tender, kind, and slow to anger.
Far as the east from the west,
He has taken my sins away.
His mercy is strong, His covenant sure—
From everlasting to evermore.
Bless Adonai, O my soul!

Verse 2

Adonai brings justice and right
To all who are crushed and oppressed.
He made His ways known to Moshe,
His mighty deeds to Isra’el.

Compassionate, full of favor,
He does not treat us as we deserve.
He remembers that we are dust—
Yet still, His love is preserved.

Chorus

Bless Adonai, O my soul!
He is faithful to those who fear His Name.
To children’s children His promise holds—
For those who walk in His ways.
His throne is set in heaven above,
And His kingdom rules over all.
Bless Adonai, O my soul!

Bridge

Bless Adonai, you angels of His—
You mighty in strength who do His word.
Bless Him, you armies, servants all—
Who carry out His will on earth.
Let every work in all His domains
Bless His Name with one accord…

Final Chorus

Bless Adonai, O my soul!
Let all that is in me praise His Name.
I stand in awe, I lift my voice—
Forever I will proclaim:
He forgives, He heals, He reigns in light—
My soul, bless Adonai!

Read Psalm 103:1-13

1Of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul, all my being, His holy name.

2Bless the LORD, O my soul and do not forget all His bounties.

3He forgives all your sins, heals all your diseases.

4He redeems your life from the Pit, surrounds you with steadfast love and mercy.

5He satisfies you with good things in the prime of life, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

6The LORD executes righteous acts and judgments for all who are wronged.

7He made known His ways to Moses, His deeds to the children of Israel.

8The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love.

9He will not contend forever, or nurse His anger for all time.

10He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor has He requited us according to our iniquities.

11For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His steadfast love toward those who fear Him.

12As east is far from west, so far has He removed our sins from us.

13As a father has compassion for his children, so the LORD has compassion for those who fear Him.
