  I.  Bless the Lord because He bestows spiritual benefits upon His faithful servants.

       Psalm 103:2-5 – “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities;
       who healeth all thy diseases; who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness
       and tender mercies; who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”

 II.  Bless the Lord because He executeth righteousness and justice for those who are oppressed.

       Psalm 103:6-7 – “The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.  He made
       known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.”

III.  Bless the Lord because He is abundantly merciful and gracious toward those who fear Him.

       Psalm 103:8-14 – “The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.  He will not
       always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.  He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded
       us according to our iniquities.  For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them
       that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.  Like as
       a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.  For he knoweth our frame; he remem-
       bereth that we are dust.”

IV.  Bless the Lord because He is everlastingly faithful unto those who fear and obey Him.

       Psalm 103:15-18 – “As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.  For the
       wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.  But the mercy of the LORD
       is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children; to
       such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.”

 V.  Bless the Lord because He is the sovereign Ruler from heaven over all the creation.

       Psalm 103:19-22 – “The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. 
       Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice
       of his word.  Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.  Bless the LORD,
       all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.”
