< Psalms 103 >

1 Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
By David. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And all my inward parts — His Holy Name.
2 Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits,
Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And forget not all His benefits,
3 who forgives all thine iniquities, who heals all thy diseases,
Who is forgiving all thine iniquities, Who is healing all thy diseases,
4 who redeems thy life from destruction, who crowns thee with loving kindness and tender mercies,
Who is redeeming from destruction thy life, Who is crowning thee — kindness and mercies,
5 who satisfies thy desire with good things, and thy youth is renewed like the eagle.
Who is satisfying with good thy desire, Renew itself as an eagle doth thy youth.
6 Jehovah executes righteous acts, and judgments for all who are oppressed.
Jehovah 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 maketh known His ways to Moses, To the sons of Israel His acts.
8 Jehovah is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.
Merciful and gracious [is] Jehovah, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
9 He will not always chide, nor will he keep it forever.
Not for ever doth He strive, Nor to the age doth He watch.
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
Not according to our sins hath He done to us, Nor according to our iniquities Hath He conferred benefits upon 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 hath 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.
As the distance of east from west He hath put far 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 sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him.
14 For he knows our frame. He remembers that we are dust.
For He hath 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! as grass [are] his days, 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 a wind hath passed over it, and it is not, And its place doth not discern it any 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,
And the kindness of Jehovah [Is] from age even unto 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.
Jehovah in the heavens Hath established His throne, And His kingdom over all hath ruled.
20 Bless Jehovah, ye his agents, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, hearkening to the voice of his word.
Bless Jehovah, ye His messengers, Mighty in power — doing His word, To hearken to the voice of His Word.
21 Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts, ye ministers of his, who do his pleasure.
Bless Jehovah, all ye 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 Jehovah, all ye His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah!
