Psalms 103

1 Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

To David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and bless his holy name, all that is within me.

2 Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits,

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all his recompenses.

3 who forgives all thine iniquities, who heals all thy diseases,

He forgives all your iniquities. He heals all your infirmities.

4 who redeems thy life from destruction, who crowns thee with loving kindness and tender mercies,

He redeems your life from destruction. He crowns you with mercy and compassion.

5 who satisfies thy desire with good things, and thy youth is renewed like the eagle.

He satisfies your desire with good things. Your youth will be renewed like that of the eagle.

6 Jehovah executes righteous acts, and judgments for all who are oppressed.

The Lord accomplishes mercies, and his judgment is for all who patiently endure injuries.

7 He made known his ways to Moses, his doings to the sons of Israel.

He has made his ways known to Moses, his will to the sons of Israel.

8 Jehovah is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.

The Lord is compassionate and merciful, patient and full of mercy.

9 He will not always chide, nor will he keep it forever.

He will not be angry forever, and he will not threaten for eternity.

10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

He has not dealt with us according to our sins, and he has not repaid us according to our iniquities.

11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him.

For according to the height of the heavens above the earth, so has he reinforced his mercy toward those who fear him.

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our iniquities from us.

13 Like as a father pities his sons, So Jehovah pities those who fear him.

As a father is compassionate to his sons, so has the Lord been compassionate to those who fear him.

14 For he knows our frame. He remembers that we are dust.

For he knows our form. He has called to mind that we are dust.

15 As for man, his days are as grass, as a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

Man: his days are like hay. Like the flower of the field, so will he flourish.

16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and the place thereof shall know it no more.

For the spirit in him will pass away, and it will not remain, and he will know his place no longer.

17 But the loving kindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon those who fear him, and his righteousness to son's sons,

But the mercy of the Lord is from eternity, and even unto eternity, upon those who fear him. And his justice is with the sons of the sons,

18 to such as keep his covenant, and to those who remember his precepts to do them.

with those who serve his covenant and have been mindful of his commandments by doing them.

19 Jehovah has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.

The Lord has prepared his throne in heaven, and his kingdom will rule over all.

20 Bless Jehovah, ye his agents, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, hearkening to the voice of his word.

Bless the Lord, all you his Angels: powerful in virtue, doing his word, in order to heed the voice of his discourse.

21 Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts, ye ministers of his, who do his pleasure.

Bless the Lord, all his hosts: his ministers who do his will.

22 Bless Jehovah, all ye his works in all places of his dominion. Bless Jehovah, O my soul.

Bless the Lord, all his works: in every place of his dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul.
