Psalms 103
1 Of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul; all that is within me, bless His holy name.
“Of David.” Bless, O my soul, the Lord, and all that is within me, his holy name.
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget all His kind deeds—
Bless, O my soul, the Lord, and forget not all his benefits:
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 from the pit thy life; who crowneth thee with kindness and mercies;
5 who satisfies you with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Who satisfieth with happiness thy spirit, so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's [plumage].
6 The LORD executes righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.
The Lord executeth righteousness, and justice for all that are oppressed.
7 He made known His ways to Moses, His deeds to the people of Israel.
He made known his ways unto Moses, unto the children of Israel his acts.
8 The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion.
Merciful and gracious is the Lord, long-suffering and abundant in kindness.
9 He will not always accuse us, nor harbor His anger forever.
Not for all eternity will he contend; nor will he for ever retain his anger.
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins or repaid us according to our iniquities.
Not in accordance with our sins hath he dealt with us; nor according to our iniquities hath he requited us.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His loving devotion for those who fear Him.
For as high as heaven is above the earth, so mighty is his kindness toward those 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 from us our transgressions.
13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.
As a father hath mercy on his children, so hath the Lord mercy on those 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;
As for man, like the grass are his days: as the blossom of the field, so doth he bloom.
16 when the wind passes over, it vanishes, and its place remembers it no more.
When a wind but passeth over it, it is gone, and its place will recognize it 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 kindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting over those that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children,
18 to those who keep His covenant and remember to obey His precepts.
To such as keep his covenant, and to those who remember his precepts to execute them.
19 The LORD has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all.
The Lord hath established in the heavens his throne; and his kingdom ruleth 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, ye his angels, mighty in strength, that execute his word, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21 Bless the LORD, all His hosts, you servants who do His will.
Bless ye the Lord, all his hosts, ye his ministers, that execute 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 all the places of his dominion; bless, O my soul, the Lord.
