Psalms 103
1 To David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and bless his holy name, all that is within me.
Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, —And all that is within me, his holy Name;
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all his recompenses.
Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, And forget not all his dealings: —
3 He forgives all your iniquities. He heals all your infirmities.
Who forgiveth all thine iniquity, Who healeth all thy diseases;
4 He redeems your life from destruction. He crowns you with mercy and compassion.
Who redeemeth, from destruction, thy life, Who crowneth thee, with lovingkindness and compassion:
5 He satisfies your desire with good things. Your youth will be renewed like that of the eagle.
Who satisfieth, with good, thine age, Thy youth, reneweth itself like an eagle.
6 The Lord accomplishes mercies, and his judgment is for all who patiently endure injuries.
Yahweh is one, who executeth righteousness, Yea vindication for all the oppressed.
7 He has made his ways known to Moses, his will to the sons of Israel.
Who made known his ways unto Moses, unto the sons of Israel, his doings.
8 The Lord is compassionate and merciful, patient and full of mercy.
Compassionate and gracious, is Yahweh, —Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness.
9 He will not be angry forever, and he will not threaten for eternity.
Not perpetually, will he contend, Nor age-abidingly, retain anger;
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, and he has not repaid 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 according to the height of the heavens above the earth, so has he reinforced his mercy toward those who 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 iniquities from us.
As far as East from West, Hath he put far from us, our transgressions;
13 As a father is compassionate to his sons, so has the Lord been compassionate to those who 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 form. He has called to mind that we are dust.
For, he, knoweth how we are formed, He is mindful that, dust, we are.
15 Man: his days are like hay. Like the flower of the field, so will he flourish.
As for man, like grass, are his days, Like the blossom of the field, so, doth he blossom;
16 For the spirit in him will pass away, and it will not remain, and he will know his place no longer.
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 eternity, and even unto eternity, upon those who fear him. And his justice is with the sons of the sons,
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 with those who serve his covenant and have been mindful of his commandments by doing them.
To such as keep his covenant, And remember his precepts, to do them.
19 The Lord has prepared his throne in heaven, and his kingdom will rule over all.
Yahweh, in the heavens, hath established his throne, And, his kingdom, over all, hath dominion.
20 Bless the Lord, all you his Angels: powerful in virtue, doing his word, in order to heed the voice of his discourse.
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 his hosts: his ministers who 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.
