Psalms 103

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

BY DAVID. Bless, O my soul, YHWH, And all my inward parts—His Holy Name.

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

Bless, O my soul, YHWH, And do not forget all His benefits,

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

Who is forgiving all your iniquities, Who is healing all your diseases,

4 who redeems your life from corruption; who crowns you with mercy and compassion;

Who is redeeming your life from destruction, Who is crowning you [with] kindness and mercies,

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

Who is satisfying your desire with good, Your youth renews itself as an eagle.

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

YHWH is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.

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

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

8 The Lord is compassionate and pitiful, longsuffering, and full of mercy.

YHWH [is] merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.

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

He does not strive forever, Nor does He watch for all time.

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

He has not done to us according to our sins, Nor according to our iniquities Has He conferred benefits on us.

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

For as the height of the heavens [is] above the earth, His kindness has 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.

He has put our transgressions far from us—as the distance of east from west.

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

As a father has mercy on sons, YHWH has mercy on those fearing Him.

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

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

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

Mortal man! His days [are] as grass, He flourishes as a flower of the field;

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

For a wind has passed over it, and it is not, And its place does not discern it anymore.

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

And the kindness of YHWH [Is] from age even to age on those fearing Him, And His righteousness to sons’ sons,

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

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

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

YHWH has established His throne in the heavens, And His kingdom has ruled over all.

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

Bless YHWH, you His messengers, Mighty in power—doing His word, To listen to the voice of His word.

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

Bless YHWH, all you His hosts, His ministers—doing His pleasure.

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

Bless YHWH, all you His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, YHWH!
