Praise the Lord, O my
soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy
name.
Praise the Lord, O my
soul,
and forget not all his benefits --
who forgives all your sins
and heals all your
diseases,
who redeems your life from the
pit
and crowns you with love and
compassion,
who satisfies your desires with good
things
so that your youth is renewed like
the eagle's.
Psalm 103:1-5
Footnote:
David's praise focused on God's glorious
deeds. It is easy to complain about life, but David's list gives us plenty for
which to praise God -- he forgives our sins, heals our diseases, redeems us from
death, crowns us with love and compassion, satisfies our desires, and gives
righteousness and justice. We receive all of these without deserving any of
them. No matter how difficult your life's journey, you can always count your
blessings -- past, present, and future. When you feel as though you have
nothing for which to praise God, read David's list.
