Psalms 103
1 By David. Praise the LORD, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name!
“A psalm of David.” Bless the LORD, O my soul! And all that is within me, bless his holy name!
2 Praise the LORD, my soul, and do not forget all his benefits,
Bless the LORD, O my soul! And forget not all his benefits!
3 who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases,
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases;
4 who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies,
Who redeemeth thy life from the grave; Who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies;
5 who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Who satisfieth thine old age with good, So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6 The LORD executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed.
The LORD executeth justice And equity for all the oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the children of Israel.
He made known his ways to Moses, His doings to the children of Israel.
8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.
The LORD is merciful and kind, Slow to anger and rich in mercy.
9 He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever.
He doth not always chide, Nor doth he keep his anger for ever.
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities.
He hath not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor requited 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.
As high as are the heavens above the earth, So great is his mercy to 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 a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.
Even as a father pitieth his children, So the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
14 For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.
For he knoweth our frame, He remembereth that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are like 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. Its place remembers it no more.
The wind passeth over it, and it is gone; And its place shall know it no more.
17 But the LORD’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children’s children,
But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting to them that fear him, And his righteousness to children's children,
18 to those who keep his covenant, to those who remember to obey his precepts.
To such as keep his covenant, And remember his commandments to do them.
19 The LORD has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all.
The LORD hath established his throne in the heavens, And his kingdom ruleth over all.
20 Praise the LORD, you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, obeying the voice of his word.
Bless the LORD, ye his angels, Ye mighty ones who do his commands, Hearkening to the voice of his word!
21 Praise the LORD, all you armies of his, you servants of his, who do his pleasure.
Bless the LORD, all ye his hosts; Ye, his ministers, who do his pleasure!
22 Praise the LORD, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion. Praise the LORD, my soul!
Bless the LORD, all his works, In all places of his dominion! Bless the LORD, O my soul!
