Psalms 103

1 To David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and bless his holy name, all that is within me.

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

2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all his recompenses.

Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

3 He forgives all your iniquities. He heals all your infirmities.

Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

4 He redeems your life from destruction. He crowns you with mercy and compassion.

Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

5 He satisfies your desire with good things. Your youth will be renewed like that of the eagle.

Who satisfieth thy mouth with good [things; so that] thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

6 The Lord accomplishes mercies, and his judgment is for all who patiently endure injuries.

The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.

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

He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

8 The Lord is compassionate and merciful, patient and full of mercy.

The LORD [is] merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

9 He will not be angry forever, and he will not threaten for eternity.

He will not always chide: neither will he keep [his anger] for ever.

10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, and he has not repaid us according to our iniquities.

He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

11 For according to the height of the heavens above the earth, so has he reinforced his mercy toward those who fear him.

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

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our iniquities from us.

As far as the east is from the west, [so] far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

13 As a father is compassionate to his sons, so has the Lord been compassionate to those who fear him.

Like as a father pitieth [his] children, [so] the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

14 For he knows our form. He has called to mind that we are dust.

For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we [are] dust.

15 Man: his days are like hay. Like the flower of the field, so will he flourish.

[As for] man, his days [are] as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

16 For the spirit in him will pass away, and it will not remain, and he will know his place no longer.

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

17 But the mercy of the Lord is from eternity, and even unto eternity, upon those who fear him. And his justice is with the sons of the sons,

But the mercy of the LORD [is] from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children;

18 with those who serve his covenant and have been mindful of his commandments by doing them.

To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

19 The Lord has prepared his throne in heaven, and his kingdom will rule over all.

The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.

20 Bless the Lord, all you his Angels: powerful in virtue, doing his word, in order to heed the voice of his discourse.

Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

21 Bless the Lord, all his hosts: his ministers who do his will.

Bless ye the LORD, all [ye] his hosts; [ye] ministers of his, that do his pleasure.

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

Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.
