< Psalms 103 >

1 Of David. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let everything in me give praise to his holy name.
לדוד ברכי נפשי את יהוה וכל קרבי את שם קדשו׃
2 Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let not all his blessings go from your memory.
ברכי נפשי את יהוה ואל תשכחי כל גמוליו׃
3 He has forgiveness for all your sins; he takes away all your diseases;
הסלח לכל עונכי הרפא לכל תחלאיכי׃
4 He keeps back your life from destruction, crowning you with mercy and grace.
הגואל משחת חייכי המעטרכי חסד ורחמים׃
5 He makes your mouth full of good things, so that your strength is made new again like the eagle's.
המשביע בטוב עדיך תתחדש כנשר נעוריכי׃
6 The Lord gives decisions in righteousness for all who are in trouble.
עשה צדקות יהוה ומשפטים לכל עשוקים׃
7 He gave knowledge of his way to Moses, and made his acts clear to the children of Israel.
יודיע דרכיו למשה לבני ישראל עלילותיו׃
8 The Lord is kind and full of pity, not quickly made angry, but ever ready to have mercy.
רחום וחנון יהוה ארך אפים ורב חסד׃
9 His feeling will no longer be bitter; he will not keep his wrath for ever.
לא לנצח יריב ולא לעולם יטור׃
10 He has not given us the punishment for our sins, or the reward of our wrongdoing.
לא כחטאינו עשה לנו ולא כעונתינו גמל עלינו׃
11 For as the heaven is high over the earth, so great is his mercy to his worshippers.
כי כגבה שמים על הארץ גבר חסדו על יראיו׃
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has he put our sins from us.
כרחק מזרח ממערב הרחיק ממנו את פשעינו׃
13 As a father has pity on his children, so the Lord has pity on his worshippers.
כרחם אב על בנים רחם יהוה על יראיו׃
14 For he has knowledge of our feeble frame; he sees that we are only dust.
כי הוא ידע יצרנו זכור כי עפר אנחנו׃
15 As for man, his days are as grass: his beautiful growth is like the flower of the field.
אנוש כחציר ימיו כציץ השדה כן יציץ׃
16 The wind goes over it and it is gone; and its place sees it no longer.
כי רוח עברה בו ואיננו ולא יכירנו עוד מקומו׃
17 But the mercy of the Lord is eternal for his worshippers, and their children's children will see his righteousness;
וחסד יהוה מעולם ועד עולם על יראיו וצדקתו לבני בנים׃
18 If they keep his agreement, and have his laws in mind to do them.
לשמרי בריתו ולזכרי פקדיו לעשותם׃
19 The Lord has made ready his high seat in the heavens; his kingdom is ruling over all.
יהוה בשמים הכין כסאו ומלכותו בכל משלה׃
20 Give praise to the Lord, you his angels, who are great in strength, doing his orders, and waiting for his voice.
ברכו יהוה מלאכיו גברי כח עשי דברו לשמע בקול דברו׃
21 Give praise to the Lord, all you his armies; and you his servants who do his pleasure.
ברכו יהוה כל צבאיו משרתיו עשי רצונו׃
22 Give praise to the Lord, all his works, in all places under his rule: give praise to the Lord, O my soul.
ברכו יהוה כל מעשיו בכל מקמות ממשלתו ברכי נפשי את יהוה׃
