< Psalms 103 >
1 Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
BY DAVID. Bless, O my soul, YHWH, And all my inward parts—His Holy Name.
2 Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits,
Bless, O my soul, YHWH, And do not forget all His benefits,
3 who forgives all thine iniquities, who heals all thy diseases,
Who is forgiving all your iniquities, Who is healing all your diseases,
4 who redeems thy life from destruction, who crowns thee with loving kindness and tender mercies,
Who is redeeming your life from destruction, Who is crowning you [with] kindness and mercies,
5 who satisfies thy desire with good things, and thy youth is renewed like the eagle.
Who is satisfying your desire with good, Your youth renews itself as an eagle.
6 Jehovah executes righteous acts, and judgments for all who are oppressed.
YHWH is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Moses, his doings to the sons of Israel.
He makes His ways known to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel.
8 Jehovah is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.
YHWH [is] merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
9 He will not always chide, nor will he keep it forever.
He does not strive forever, Nor does He watch for all time.
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
He has not done to us according to our sins, Nor according to our iniquities Has He conferred benefits on us.
11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him.
For as the height of the heavens [is] above the earth, His kindness has been mighty over those fearing Him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
He has put our transgressions far from us—as the distance of east from west.
13 Like as a father pities his sons, So Jehovah pities those who fear him.
As a father has mercy on sons, YHWH has mercy on those fearing Him.
14 For he knows our frame. He remembers that we are dust.
For He has known our frame, Remembering that we [are] dust.
15 As for man, his days are as grass, as a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
Mortal man! His days [are] as grass, He flourishes as a flower of the field;
16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and the place thereof shall know it no more.
For a wind has passed over it, and it is not, And its place does not discern it anymore.
17 But the loving kindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon those who fear him, and his righteousness to son's sons,
And the kindness of YHWH [Is] from age even to age on those fearing Him, And His righteousness to sons’ sons,
18 to such as keep his covenant, and to those who remember his precepts to do them.
To those keeping His covenant, And to those remembering His precepts to do them.
19 Jehovah has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.
YHWH has established His throne in the heavens, And His kingdom has ruled 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 YHWH, you His messengers, Mighty in power—doing His word, To listen to the voice of His word.
21 Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts, ye ministers of his, who do his pleasure.
Bless YHWH, all you His hosts, His ministers—doing His pleasure.
22 Bless Jehovah, all ye his works in all places of his dominion. Bless Jehovah, O my soul.
Bless YHWH, all you His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, YHWH!
