103:1 （大衛的詩。）我的心哪，你要稱頌耶和華！凡在我裡面的，也要稱頌他的聖名！
103:2 我的心哪，你要稱頌耶和華！不可忘記他的一切恩惠！
103:3 他赦免你的一切罪孽，醫治你的一切疾病。
103:4 他救贖你的命脫離死亡，以仁愛和慈悲為你的冠冕。
103:5 他用美物使你所願的得以知足，以致你如鷹返老還童。
103:6 耶和華施行公義，為一切受屈的人伸冤。
103:7 他使摩西知道他的法則，叫以色列人曉得他的作為。
103:8 耶和華有憐憫，有恩典，不輕易發怒，且有豐盛的慈愛。
103:9 他不長久責備，也不永遠懷怒。
103:10 他沒有按我們的罪過待我們，也沒有照我們的罪孽報應我們。
103:11 天離地何等的高，他的慈愛向敬畏他的人也是何等的大！
103:12 東離西有多遠，他叫我們的過犯離我們也有多遠！
103:13 父親怎樣憐恤他的兒女，耶和華也怎樣憐恤敬畏他的人！
103:14 因為他知道我們的本體，思念我們不過是塵土。
103:15 至於世人，他的年日如草一樣。他發旺如野地的花，
103:16 經風一吹，便歸無有；它的原處也不再認識它。
103:17 但耶和華的慈愛歸於敬畏他的人，從亙古到永遠；他的公義也歸於子子孫孫─
103:18 就是那些遵守他的約、記念他的訓詞而遵行的人。
103:19 耶和華在天上立定寶座；他的權柄（原文是國）統管萬有。
103:20 聽從他命令、成全他旨意、有大能的天使，都要稱頌耶和華！
103:21 你們作他的諸軍，作他的僕役，行他所喜悅的，都要稱頌耶和華！
103:22 你們一切被他造的，在他所治理的各處，都要稱頌耶和華！我的心哪，你要稱頌耶和華！

1 Praise
the Lord, my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
2 Praise the Lord, my soul,
and forget not all his benefits—
3 who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
5 who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

7 He
made known his ways to Moses,
his deeds to the people of Israel:
8 The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
9 He will not always accuse,
nor will he harbor his anger forever;
10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve
or repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

father has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;

he remembers that we are dust.
15 The life of mortals is like grass,
they flourish like a flower of the field;
16 the wind blows over it and it is gone,
and its place remembers it no more.
17 But from everlasting to everlasting
the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children’s children—
18 with those who keep his covenant
and remember to obey his precepts.

**************
許多人想到上帝的公義，就認為上帝是嚴厲的法官，心裡就害怕與抗拒！殊不知言立的法官主持正義所發的威嚴，正是要拯救被害的人，使被害的人獲的原本該有權利，這本是好的且是應該的！
而這位公義的上帝為什麼要為我們伸冤和拯救我們呢﹖這是出於祂的慈愛和豐盛的恩典，也因為如此，我們就要像詩人一般的讚美上帝，先中油然發出讚嘆說：「耶和華有憐憫，有恩典，不輕易發怒，且有豐盛的慈愛。」
詩人也在這裡說到我們倚靠上帝有什麼好處與恩典：「但耶和華的慈愛歸於敬畏他的人，從亙古到永遠；他的公義也歸於子子孫孫─就是那些遵守他的約、記念他的訓詞而遵行的人。」也因為這樣使徒約翰告訴我們：「這世界和其上的情慾都要過去，惟獨遵行上帝旨意的，是永遠常存。」（約翰一書2:17）
所以詩人在最後還是囑咐讀者：「你們一切被他造的，在他所治理的各處，都要稱頌耶和華！我的心哪，你要稱頌耶和華！」
是的！我們要稱頌耶和華！
