Psalms 103
1 Of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul; all that is within me, bless His holy name.
Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, —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, Yahweh, And forget not all his dealings: —
3 He who forgives all your iniquities and heals all your diseases,
Who forgiveth all thine iniquity, Who healeth all thy diseases;
4 who redeems your life from the Pit and crowns you with loving devotion and compassion,
Who redeemeth, from destruction, thy life, Who crowneth thee, with lovingkindness and compassion:
5 who satisfies you with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Who satisfieth, with good, thine age, Thy youth, reneweth itself like an eagle.
6 The LORD executes righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.
Yahweh is one, who executeth righteousness, Yea vindication for all the oppressed.
7 He made known His ways to Moses, His deeds to the people of Israel.
Who made known his ways unto Moses, unto the sons of Israel, his doings.
8 The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion.
Compassionate and gracious, is Yahweh, —Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness.
9 He will not always accuse us, nor harbor His anger forever.
Not perpetually, will he contend, Nor age-abidingly, retain anger;
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins or repaid us according to our iniquities.
Not according to our sins, hath he dealt with us, Nor according to our iniquities, hath he treated 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 the heavens are exalted over the earth, His lovingkindness hath prevailed over them who revere him;
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.
As far as East from West, Hath he put far from us, our transgressions;
13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.
Like the compassion of a father for his children, Is, the compassion of Yahweh, for them who revere him;
14 For He knows our frame; He is mindful that we are dust.
For, he, knoweth how we are formed, He is mindful that, dust, we are.
15 As for man, his days are like grass— he blooms like a flower of the field;
As for man, like grass, are his days, Like the blossom of the field, so, doth he blossom;
16 when the wind passes over, it vanishes, and its place remembers it no more.
For, a wind, hath passed over it, and it is gone, And its own place is acquainted with 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 lovingkindness of Yahweh, is from one age even to another, Upon them who revere him, And his righteousness, to children’s children: —
18 to those who keep His covenant and remember to obey His precepts.
To such as keep his covenant, And remember his precepts, to do them.
19 The LORD has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all.
Yahweh, in the heavens, hath established his throne, And, his kingdom, over all, hath dominion.
20 Bless the LORD, all His angels mighty in strength who carry out His word, who hearken to the voice of His command.
Bless Yahweh, ye messengers of his, —Heroes of vigour, doing his word, To hearken [again] to the voice of his word;
21 Bless the LORD, all His hosts, you servants who do His will.
Bless Yahweh, all ye his hosts, Attendants of his, doing his pleasure;
22 Bless the LORD, all His works in all places of His dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul!
Bless Yahweh, all ye his works, In all places of his dominion, Bless, O my soul, Yahweh.
