Psalms 103
1 [A Psalm] of David. Bless the Lord, O my soul; and 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 forget not all his praises:
Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, And forget not all his dealings: —
3 who forgives all thy transgressions, who heals all thy diseases;
Who forgiveth all thine iniquity, Who healeth all thy diseases;
4 who redeems thy life from corruption; who crowns thee with mercy and compassion;
Who redeemeth, from destruction, thy life, Who crowneth thee, with lovingkindness and compassion:
5 who satisfies thy desire with good things: [so that] thy youth shall be renewed like [that] of the eagle.
Who satisfieth, with good, thine age, Thy youth, reneweth itself like an eagle.
6 The Lord executes mercy and judgment for all that are injured.
Yahweh is one, who executeth righteousness, Yea vindication for all the oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Moses, his will to the children of Israel.
Who made known his ways unto Moses, unto the sons of Israel, his doings.
8 The Lord is compassionate and pitiful, long-suffering, and full of mercy.
Compassionate and gracious, is Yahweh, —Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness.
9 He will not be always angry; neither will he be wrathful for ever.
Not perpetually, will he contend, Nor age-abidingly, retain anger;
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor recompensed 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 the heaven is high above the earth, the Lord has [so] increased his mercy toward them that 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 pities [his] children, the Lord pities them that 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: remember 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 as grass; as a flower of the field, so shall he flourish.
As for man, like grass, are his days, Like the blossom of the field, so, doth he blossom;
16 For the wind passes over it, and it shall not be; and it shall know its place 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 the mercy of the Lord is from generation to generation upon them that fear him, and his righteousness to 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 them that keep his covenant, and remember his commandments to do them.
To such as keep his covenant, And remember his precepts, to do them.
19 The Lord has prepared his throne in the 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 ye his angels, mighty in strength, who perform his bidding, [ready] to hearken to the voice of his words.
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 ye his hosts; [ye] ministers of his that do his will.
Bless Yahweh, all ye his hosts, Attendants of his, doing his pleasure;
22 Bless the Lord, all his works, in every place 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.
