Psalms 103

1 [A Psalm] of David. Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all [that is] within me, [bless] his holy name.

Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his praises:

Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits,

3 who forgives all thy transgressions, who heals all thy diseases;

who forgives all thine iniquities, who heals all thy diseases,

4 who redeems thy life from corruption; who crowns thee with mercy and compassion;

who redeems thy life from destruction, who crowns thee with loving kindness and tender mercies,

5 who satisfies thy desire with good things: [so that] thy youth shall be renewed like [that] of the eagle.

who satisfies thy desire with good things, and thy youth is renewed like the eagle.

6 The Lord executes mercy and judgment for all that are injured.

Jehovah executes righteous acts, and judgments for all who are oppressed.

7 He made known his ways to Moses, his will to the children of Israel.

He made known his ways to Moses, his doings to the sons of Israel.

8 The Lord is compassionate and pitiful, long-suffering, and full of mercy.

Jehovah is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.

9 He will not be always angry; neither will he be wrathful for ever.

He will not always chide, nor will he keep it forever.

10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor recompensed us according to our iniquities.

He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, the Lord has [so] increased his mercy toward them that fear him.

For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who 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 has he removed our transgressions from us.

13 As a father pities [his] children, the Lord pities them that fear him.

Like as a father pities his sons, So Jehovah pities those who fear him.

14 For he knows our frame: remember that we are dust.

For he knows our frame. He remembers that we are dust.

15 [As for] man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so shall he flourish.

As for man, his days are as grass, as a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

16 For the wind passes over it, and it shall not be; and it shall know its place no more.

For the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and the place thereof shall know it no more.

17 But the mercy of the Lord is from generation to generation upon them that fear him, and his righteousness to children's children;

But the loving kindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon those who fear him, and his righteousness to son's sons,

18 to them that keep his covenant, and remember his commandments to do them.

to such as keep his covenant, and to those who remember his precepts to do them.

19 The Lord has prepared his throne in the heaven; and his kingdom rules over all.

Jehovah has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.

20 Bless the Lord, all ye his angels, mighty in strength, who perform his bidding, [ready] to hearken to the voice of his words.

Bless Jehovah, ye his agents, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, hearkening to the voice of his word.

21 Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts; [ye] ministers of his that do his will.

Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts, ye ministers of his, who do his pleasure.

22 Bless the Lord, all his works, in every place of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.

Bless Jehovah, all ye his works in all places of his dominion. Bless Jehovah, O my soul.
