Psalms 103
1 [A Psalm] of David. Bless Jehovah, O my soul; and all that is within me, [bless] his holy name!
By David. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And all my inward parts — His Holy Name.
2 Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And forget not all His benefits,
3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who healeth all thy diseases;
Who is forgiving all thine iniquities, Who is healing all thy diseases,
4 Who redeemeth thy life from the pit, who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies;
Who is redeeming from destruction thy life, Who is crowning thee — kindness and mercies,
5 Who satisfieth thine old age with good [things]; thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
Who is satisfying with good thy desire, Renew itself as an eagle doth thy youth.
6 Jehovah executeth righteousness and justice for all that are oppressed.
Jehovah is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.
7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
He maketh known His ways to Moses, To the sons of Israel His acts.
8 Jehovah is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving-kindness.
Merciful and gracious [is] Jehovah, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
9 He will not always chide, neither will he keep [his anger] for ever.
Not for ever doth He strive, Nor to the age doth He watch.
10 He hath not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
Not according to our sins hath He done to us, Nor according to our iniquities Hath He conferred benefits upon us.
11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving-kindness toward them that fear him.
For, as the height of the heavens [is] above the earth, His kindness hath been mighty over those fearing Him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
As the distance of east from west He hath put far from us our transgressions.
13 As a father pitieth [his] children, so Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.
As a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him.
14 For himself knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we [are] dust.
15 As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth:
Mortal man! as grass [are] his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth;
16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone, and the place thereof knoweth it no more.
For a wind hath passed over it, and it is not, And its place doth not discern it any more.
17 But the loving-kindness of Jehovah is from everlasting and to everlasting, upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children,
And the kindness of Jehovah [Is] from age even unto age on those fearing Him, And His righteousness to sons' sons,
18 To such as keep his covenant and to those that remember his precepts to do them.
To those keeping His covenant, And to those remembering His precepts to do them.
19 Jehovah hath established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom ruleth over all.
Jehovah in the heavens Hath established His throne, And His kingdom over all hath ruled.
20 Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, mighty in strength, that execute his word, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
Bless Jehovah, ye His messengers, Mighty in power — doing His word, To hearken to the voice of His Word.
21 Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his that do his will.
Bless Jehovah, all ye His hosts, His ministers — doing His pleasure.
22 Bless Jehovah, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless Jehovah, O my soul!
Bless Jehovah, all ye His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah!
