Psalm 103 "A Prayer"

Abba,

I will bless and honor Your name with all that I have and all that I am. I will never forget all of Your goodness and the benefits of being Your favorite one. You are the one who forgives all of my sins, You're the one who covers me with grace and mercy by the blood of The Lamb. You're my healer and redeemer, the lifter of my head. You lay upon me crowns of tender mercies and loving kindness. You satisfy my mouth with good things, so that my strength is renewed like the eagle's.
You, Daddy, bring justice and righteousness for all that are oppressed. You showed Yourself to Moses and Israel, You showed Yourself merciful and gracious, slow to anger and overflowing with mercy. You don't continually nag me nor do You hold grudges, for You are the ultimate gentleman, You will never force anything on me. You haven't dealt with me according to my sins, nor have You punished me according to my transgressions. Like the vastness of space, so are Your mercies toward all that fear You.
You have cast my transgressions as far as the east is from the west. The way parents feel for their children pails in comparison to the way you feel towards me. You know my frame, You know that I am dust and in You mercy You forgive me Your kindness never ends. As the flowers fade away with the season, so is my life in eternity, a vapor; but Your love is forever and Your righteousness from generation to generation. Your kingdom is eternal and above all others. Let everything under the sound of Your voice bless Your name, Jehovah! From the hosts in the heavens to those on earth below, let us all bless You Lord!
