Psalm 103:1-14 (NRSV)

Thanks for pointing this one out, Hannah! I am loving this right now. [I have replaced "his" with other words to refer to the Lord, as I believe God is bigger than one gender.]

Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless [your] holy name.
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget all [God's] benefits-- 
who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, 
who redeems your life from the Pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, 
who satisfies you with good as long as you live so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
The LORD works vindication and justice for all who are oppressed.
[The Lord] made known [their] ways to Moses, [God's] acts to the people of Israel.
The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. 
[God] will not always accuse, nor will [God] keep [the Lord's] anger forever. 
[The Lord] does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. 
For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is [the Lord's] steadfast love toward those who fear [God];
as far as the east is from the west, so far [God] removes our transgressions from us. 
As a father has compassion for his children, so the LORD has compassion for those who fear [God]. 
For [God] knows how we were made; [the Lord] remembers that we are dust.
