Beautiful description of God

The Psalmist gave a beautiful description of God.

Psalms 103:1-22
[1]Praise the Lord, my soul! All my being, praise his holy name!
[2]Praise the Lord, my soul, and do not forget how kind he is.
[3]He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases.
[4]He keeps me from the grave and blesses me with love and mercy.
[5]He fills my life with good things, so that I stay young and strong like an eagle.
[6]The Lord judges in favour of the oppressed     and gives them their rights.
[7]He revealed his plans to Moses and let the people of Israel see his mighty deeds.
[8]The Lord is merciful and loving, slow to become angry and full of constant love.
[9]He does not keep on rebuking; he is not angry for ever.
[10]He does not punish us as we deserve or repay us according to our sins and wrongs.
[11]As high as the sky is above the earth, so great is his love for those who honour him.
[12]As far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our sins from us.
[13]As a father is kind to his children, so the Lord is kind to those who honour him.
[14]He knows what we are made of; he remembers that we are dust.
[15]As for us, our life is like grass. We grow and flourish like a wild flower;    
[16]then the wind blows on it, and it is gone —     no one sees it again.
[17]But for those who honour the Lord, his love lasts for ever, and his goodness endures for all generations
[18]of those who are true to his covenant and who faithfully obey his commands.
[19]The Lord placed his throne in heaven; he is king over all.
[20]Praise the Lord, you strong and mighty angels, who obey his commands, who listen to what he says.
[21]Praise the Lord, all you heavenly powers,     you servants of his, who do his will!
[22]Praise the Lord, all his creatures in all the places he rules. Praise the Lord, my soul!
