Psalms 103
1 For David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul: and let 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 the Lord, O my soul, and never forget all he hath done for thee.
Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And forget not all His benefits,
3 Who forgiveth all thy iniquities: who healeth all thy diseases.
Who is forgiving all thine iniquities, Who is healing all thy diseases,
4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction: who crowneth thee with mercy and compassion.
Who is redeeming from destruction thy life, Who is crowning thee — kindness and mercies,
5 Who satisfieth thy desire with good things: thy youth shall be renewed like the eagle’s.
Who is satisfying with good thy desire, Renew itself as an eagle doth thy youth.
6 The Lord doth mercies, and judgment for all that suffer wrong.
Jehovah is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.
7 He hath made his ways known to Moses: his wills to the children of Israel.
He maketh known His ways to Moses, To the sons of Israel His acts.
8 The ford is compassionate and merciful: longsuffering and plenteous in mercy.
Merciful and gracious [is] Jehovah, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
9 He will not always be angry: nor will he threaten 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 according to the height of the heaven above the earth: he hath strengthened his mercy towards 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 iniquities from us.
As the distance of east from west He hath put far from us our transgressions.
13 As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that fear him:
As a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him.
14 For he knoweth our frame. He remembereth that we are dust:
For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we [are] dust.
15 Man’s days are as grass, as the flower of the field so shall he flourish.
Mortal man! as grass [are] his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth;
16 For the spirit shall pass in him, and he shall not be: and he shall know his place 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 mercy of the Lord is from eternity and unto eternity upon them that fear him: And his justice 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 are mindful of his commandments to do them.
To those keeping His covenant, And to those remembering His precepts to do them.
19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in heaven: and his kingdom shall rule over all.
Jehovah in the heavens Hath established His throne, And His kingdom over all hath ruled.
20 Bless the Lord, all ye his angels: you that are mighty in strength, and execute his word, hearkening to the voice of his orders.
Bless Jehovah, ye His messengers, Mighty in power — doing His word, To hearken to the voice of His Word.
21 Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts: you ministers of his that do his will.
Bless Jehovah, all ye His hosts, His ministers — doing His pleasure.
22 Bless the Lord, all his works: in every place of his dominion, O my soul, bless thou the Lord.
Bless Jehovah, all ye His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah!
