Psalms 103

1 Of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul; all that is within me, bless His holy name.

For David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul: and let all that is within me bless his holy name.

2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget all His kind deeds—

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and never forget all he hath done for thee.

3 He who forgives all your iniquities and heals all your diseases,

Who forgiveth all thy iniquities: who healeth all thy diseases.

4 who redeems your life from the Pit and crowns you with loving devotion and compassion,

Who redeemeth thy life from destruction: who crowneth thee with mercy and compassion.

5 who satisfies you with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Who satisfieth thy desire with good things: thy youth shall be renewed like the eagle’s.

6 The LORD executes righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.

The Lord doth mercies, and judgment for all that suffer wrong.

7 He made known His ways to Moses, His deeds to the people of Israel.

He hath made his ways known to Moses: his wills to the children of Israel.

8 The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion.

The ford is compassionate and merciful: longsuffering and plenteous in mercy.

9 He will not always accuse us, nor harbor His anger forever.

He will not always be angry: nor will he threaten for ever.

10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins or repaid 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 high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His loving devotion for those who fear Him.

For according to the height of the heaven above the earth: he hath strengthened his mercy towards 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 iniquities from us.

13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.

As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that fear him:

14 For He knows our frame; He is mindful that we are dust.

For he knoweth our frame. He remembereth that we are dust:

15 As for man, his days are like grass— he blooms like a flower of the field;

Man’s days are as grass, as the flower of the field so shall he flourish.

16 when the wind passes over, it vanishes, and its place remembers it no more.

For the spirit shall pass in him, and he shall not be: and he shall know his place no more.

17 But from everlasting to everlasting the loving devotion of the LORD extends to those who fear Him, and His righteousness to their children’s children—

But the mercy of the Lord is from eternity and unto eternity upon them that fear him: And his justice unto children’s children,

18 to those who keep His covenant and remember to obey His precepts.

To such as keep his covenant, And are mindful of his commandments to do them.

19 The LORD has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all.

The Lord hath prepared his throne in heaven: and his kingdom shall rule over all.

20 Bless the LORD, all His angels mighty in strength who carry out His word, who hearken to the voice of His command.

Bless the Lord, all ye his angels: you that are mighty in strength, and execute his word, hearkening to the voice of his orders.

21 Bless the LORD, all His hosts, you servants who do His will.

Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts: you ministers of his that do his will.

22 Bless the LORD, all His works in all places of His dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul!

Bless the Lord, all his works: in every place of his dominion, O my soul, bless thou the Lord.
