Bless the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget all his benefits--
103:3
who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases,
103:4
who redeems your life from the Pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
103:5
who satisfies you with good as long as you live so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

as far as the east is from the west, so far he removes our transgressions from us.
