Psalms 103
1 Of David. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let everything in me give praise to his holy name.
[A Psalm] of David. Bless Jehovah, O my soul; and all that is within me, [bless] his holy name!
2 Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let not all his blessings go from your memory.
Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3 He has forgiveness for all your sins; he takes away all your diseases;
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who healeth all thy diseases;
4 He keeps back your life from destruction, crowning you with mercy and grace.
Who redeemeth thy life from the pit, who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies;
5 He makes your mouth full of good things, so that your strength is made new again like the eagle's.
Who satisfieth thine old age with good [things]; thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6 The Lord gives decisions in righteousness for all who are in trouble.
Jehovah executeth righteousness and justice for all that are oppressed.
7 He gave knowledge of his way to Moses, and made his acts clear to the children of Israel.
He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
8 The Lord is kind and full of pity, not quickly made angry, but ever ready to have mercy.
Jehovah is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving-kindness.
9 His feeling will no longer be bitter; he will not keep his wrath for ever.
He will not always chide, neither will he keep [his anger] for ever.
10 He has not given us the punishment for our sins, or the reward of our wrongdoing.
He hath not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heaven is high over the earth, so great is his mercy to his worshippers.
For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving-kindness toward them that fear him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has he put our sins from us.
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
13 As a father has pity on his children, so the Lord has pity on his worshippers.
As a father pitieth [his] children, so Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.
14 For he has knowledge of our feeble frame; he sees that we are only dust.
For himself knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are as grass: his beautiful growth is like the flower of the field.
As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth:
16 The wind goes over it and it is gone; and its place sees it no longer.
For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone, and the place thereof knoweth it no more.
17 But the mercy of the Lord is eternal for his worshippers, and their children's children will see his righteousness;
But the loving-kindness of Jehovah is from everlasting and to everlasting, upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children,
18 If they keep his agreement, and have his laws in mind to do them.
To such as keep his covenant and to those that remember his precepts to do them.
19 The Lord has made ready his high seat in the heavens; his kingdom is ruling over all.
Jehovah hath established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom ruleth over all.
20 Give praise to the Lord, you his angels, who are great in strength, doing his orders, and waiting for his voice.
Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, mighty in strength, that execute his word, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21 Give praise to the Lord, all you his armies; and you his servants who do his pleasure.
Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his that do his will.
22 Give praise to the Lord, all his works, in all places under his rule: give praise to the Lord, O my soul.
Bless Jehovah, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless Jehovah, O my soul!
