Psalms 103

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

By David. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And all my inward parts — His Holy Name.

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

Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And forget not all His benefits,

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

Who is forgiving all thine iniquities, Who is healing all thy diseases,

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

Who is redeeming from destruction thy life, Who is crowning thee — kindness and mercies,

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

Who is satisfying with good thy desire, Renew itself as an eagle doth thy youth.

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

Jehovah is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.

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

He maketh known His ways to Moses, To the sons of Israel His acts.

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

Merciful and gracious [is] Jehovah, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.

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

Not for ever doth He strive, Nor to the age doth He watch.

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 done to us, Nor according to our iniquities Hath He conferred benefits upon 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 height of the heavens [is] above the earth, His kindness hath been mighty over those fearing Him.

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.

As the distance of east from west He hath 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.

As a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him.

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

For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we [are] dust.

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

Mortal man! as grass [are] his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth;

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 not, And its place doth not discern it any 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—

And the kindness of Jehovah [Is] from age even unto age on those fearing Him, And His righteousness to sons' sons,

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

To those keeping His covenant, And to those remembering His precepts to do them.

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

Jehovah in the heavens Hath established His throne, And His kingdom over all hath ruled.

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

Bless Jehovah, ye His messengers, Mighty in power — doing His word, To hearken to the voice of His Word.

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

Bless Jehovah, all ye His hosts, His ministers — doing His pleasure.

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

Bless Jehovah, all ye His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah!
