Psalms 103
1 Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
“Of David.” Bless, O my soul, the Lord, and all that is within me, his holy name.
2 Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits,
Bless, O my soul, the Lord, and forget not all his benefits:
3 who forgives all thine iniquities, who heals all thy diseases,
Who forgiveth all thy iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4 who redeems thy life from destruction, who crowns thee with loving kindness and tender mercies,
Who redeemeth from the pit thy life; who crowneth thee with kindness and mercies;
5 who satisfies thy desire with good things, and thy youth is renewed like the eagle.
Who satisfieth with happiness thy spirit, so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's [plumage].
6 Jehovah executes righteous acts, and judgments for all who are oppressed.
The Lord executeth righteousness, and justice for all that are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Moses, his doings to the sons of Israel.
He made known his ways unto Moses, unto the children of Israel his acts.
8 Jehovah is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.
Merciful and gracious is the Lord, long-suffering and abundant in kindness.
9 He will not always chide, nor will he keep it forever.
Not for all eternity will he contend; nor will he for ever retain his anger.
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
Not in accordance with our sins hath he dealt with us; nor according to our iniquities hath he requited us.
11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him.
For as high as heaven is above the earth, so mighty is his kindness toward those that 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 hath he removed from us our transgressions.
13 Like as a father pities his sons, So Jehovah pities those who fear him.
As a father hath mercy on his children, so hath the Lord mercy on those that fear him.
14 For he knows our frame. He remembers that we are dust.
For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are as grass, as a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
As for man, like the grass are his days: as the blossom of the field, so doth he bloom.
16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and the place thereof shall know it no more.
When a wind but passeth over it, it is gone, and its place will recognize it no more.
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 kindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting over those that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children,
18 to such as keep his covenant, and to those who remember his precepts to do them.
To such as keep his covenant, and to those who remember his precepts to execute them.
19 Jehovah has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.
The Lord hath established in the heavens his throne; and his kingdom ruleth 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, ye his angels, mighty in strength, that execute his word, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21 Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts, ye ministers of his, who do his pleasure.
Bless ye the Lord, all his hosts, ye his ministers, that execute 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 all the places of his dominion; bless, O my soul, the Lord.
