13As a father has compassion for his children,
Psalm 103:13-22
so the LORD has compassion for those who fear him.
14 For he knows how we were made;
he remembers that we are dust.
15 As for mortals, their days are like grass;
they flourish like a flower of the field;
16 for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,
and its place knows it no more.
17 But the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting
on those who fear him,
and his righteousness to children’s children,
18 to those who keep his covenant
and remember to do his commandments.
19 The LORD has established his throne in the heavens,
and his kingdom rules over all.
20 Bless the LORD, O you his angels,
you mighty ones who do his bidding,
obedient to his spoken word.
21 Bless the LORD, all his hosts,
his ministers that do his will.
22 Bless the LORD, all his works,
in all places of his dominion.
Bless the LORD, O my soul.
Reflect on these words from the Psalmist. Think about the way they describe God’s righteousness (defined in the dictionary as “the quality of being morally right or just”). What words or phrases stand out to you? How does this description of our God make you want to praise him saying, “Bless the LORD, O my soul”?
Memory Verse –
He leads me in right paths
for his name’s sake.
