Psalms 103

1 Of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul; 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 the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget all His kind deeds—

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his praises:

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

who forgives all your transgressions, who heals all your diseases;

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

who redeems your life from corruption; who crowns you with mercy and compassion;

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

who satisfies your desire with good things: [so that] your youth shall be renewed like [that] of the eagle.

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

The Lord executes mercy and judgment for all that are injured.

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

He made known his ways to Moses, his will to the children of Israel.

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

The Lord is compassionate and pitiful, longsuffering, and full of mercy.

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

He will not be always angry; neither will he be wrathful for ever.

10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins or repaid us according to our iniquities.

He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor recompensed 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 as the heaven is high above the earth, the Lord has [so] increased 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] has he removed our transgressions from us.

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

As a father pities [his] children, the Lord pities them that fear him.

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

For he knows our frame: remember that we are dust.

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

[As for] man, his days are as grass; as a 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 wind passes over it, and it shall not be; and it shall know its 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 generation to generation upon them that fear him, and his righteousness to children's children;

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

to them that keep his covenant, and remember his commandments to do them.

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

The Lord has prepared his throne in the heaven; and his kingdom rules 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 you his angels, mighty in strength, who perform his bidding, [ready] to listen to the voice of his words.

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

Bless the Lord, all you 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: bless the Lord, O my soul.
