Psalms 103:6
4 who redeems your life from the Pit and crowns you with loving devotion and compassion,
5 who satisfies you with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
The LORD executes righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.
7 He made known His ways to Moses, His deeds to the people of Israel.
8 The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion.
