26They shall perish, but you will endure;
they all shall wear out like a garment; *
as clothing you will change them,
and they shall be changed;
27But you are always the same, *
and your years will never end.
28The children of your servants shall continue, *
and their offspring shall stand fast in your sight.”
103Benedic, anima mea
1Bless the Lord, O my soul, *
and all that is within me, bless his holy Name.
2Bless the Lord, O my soul, *
and forget not all his benefits.
3He forgives all your sins *
and heals all your infirmities;
4He redeems your life from the grave *
and crowns you with mercy and loving‑kindness;
5He satisfies you with good things, *
and your youth is renewed like an eagle’s.
6The Lord executes righteousness *
and judgment for all who are oppressed.
7He made his ways known to Moses *
and his works to the children of Israel.
8The Lord is full of compassion and mercy, *
slow to anger and of great kindness.
9He will not always accuse us, *
nor will he keep his anger for ever.
