< Psalms 103 >
1 Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
A Psalm of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2 Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits,
Bless the LORD, O my soul, 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 thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5 who satisfies thy desire with good things, and thy youth is renewed like the eagle.
Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 Jehovah executes righteous acts, and judgments for all who are oppressed.
The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment 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 to Moses, his acts to the children of Israel.
8 Jehovah is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.
The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
9 He will not always chide, nor will he keep it forever.
He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
He hath not dealt with us according to our sins; nor rewarded 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 as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them 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 our transgressions from us.
13 Like as a father pities his sons, So Jehovah pities those who fear him.
Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them 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, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and the place thereof shall know it no more.
For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and its place shall know 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 mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness to 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 that remember his commandments to do them.
19 Jehovah has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.
The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; 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, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening to 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 ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
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 places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.
