< Psalms 103 >

1 A psalm of David. Let every part of me praise the Lord; let my whole being praise his holy character.
τῷ Δαυιδ εὐλόγει ἡ ψυχή μου τὸν κύριον καί πάντα τὰ ἐντός μου τὸ ὄνομα τὸ ἅγιον αὐτοῦ
2 Let every part of me praise the Lord; don't let me forget the wonderful things he's done for me.
εὐλόγει ἡ ψυχή μου τὸν κύριον καὶ μὴ ἐπιλανθάνου πάσας τὰς ἀνταποδόσεις αὐτοῦ
3 He forgives my sins, and he heals all my diseases.
τὸν εὐιλατεύοντα πάσαις ταῖς ἀνομίαις σου τὸν ἰώμενον πάσας τὰς νόσους σου
4 He saves me from death; he honors me with trustworthy love and mercy.
τὸν λυτρούμενον ἐκ φθορᾶς τὴν ζωήν σου τὸν στεφανοῦντά σε ἐν ἐλέει καὶ οἰκτιρμοῖς
5 He fills my life with all that's good; he makes me young again, strong as an eagle.
τὸν ἐμπιπλῶντα ἐν ἀγαθοῖς τὴν ἐπιθυμίαν σου ἀνακαινισθήσεται ὡς ἀετοῦ ἡ νεότης σου
6 The Lord does what is right, and vindicates those who are exploited.
ποιῶν ἐλεημοσύνας ὁ κύριος καὶ κρίμα πᾶσι τοῖς ἀδικουμένοις
7 He explained his ways to Moses: he told the people of Israel what he was going to do.
ἐγνώρισεν τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ τῷ Μωυσῇ τοῖς υἱοῖς Ισραηλ τὰ θελήματα αὐτοῦ
8 The Lord is kind and gracious, not quick-tempered, and full of trustworthy love.
οἰκτίρμων καὶ ἐλεήμων ὁ κύριος μακρόθυμος καὶ πολυέλεος
9 He doesn't keep on accusing us; he doesn't stay angry with us forever.
οὐκ εἰς τέλος ὀργισθήσεται οὐδὲ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα μηνιεῖ
10 He does not punish us for our sins as he ought to; he does not pay us back for our wrongdoing as we deserve.
οὐ κατὰ τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν ἐποίησεν ἡμῖν οὐδὲ κατὰ τὰς ἀνομίας ἡμῶν ἀνταπέδωκεν ἡμῖν
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth is the extent of his trustworthy love to those who honor him.
ὅτι κατὰ τὸ ὕψος τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς ἐκραταίωσεν κύριος τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τοὺς φοβουμένους αὐτόν
12 As far as the east is from the west is how far the Lord has taken our sins away from us.
καθ’ ὅσον ἀπέχουσιν ἀνατολαὶ ἀπὸ δυσμῶν ἐμάκρυνεν ἀφ’ ἡμῶν τὰς ἀνομίας ἡμῶν
13 Like a loving father, the Lord is kind and compassionate to those who follow him.
καθὼς οἰκτίρει πατὴρ υἱούς οἰκτίρησεν κύριος τοὺς φοβουμένους αὐτόν
14 For he knows how we are made; he remembers we are only dust.
ὅτι αὐτὸς ἔγνω τὸ πλάσμα ἡμῶν μνήσθητι ὅτι χοῦς ἐσμεν
15 Human lifetimes are like grass: we blossom like flowers in a field,
ἄνθρωπος ὡσεὶ χόρτος αἱ ἡμέραι αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ ἄνθος τοῦ ἀγροῦ οὕτως ἐξανθήσει
16 but then the wind blows and we are gone, disappearing without a trace.
ὅτι πνεῦμα διῆλθεν ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ οὐχ ὑπάρξει καὶ οὐκ ἐπιγνώσεται ἔτι τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ
17 But the Lord's trustworthy love lasts for all eternity to those who accept him; his goodness to all generations,
τὸ δὲ ἔλεος τοῦ κυρίου ἀπὸ τοῦ αἰῶνος καὶ ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος ἐπὶ τοὺς φοβουμένους αὐτόν καὶ ἡ δικαιοσύνη αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ υἱοὺς υἱῶν
18 to those who keep his agreement and who remember to follow his commandments.
τοῖς φυλάσσουσιν τὴν διαθήκην αὐτοῦ καὶ μεμνημένοις τῶν ἐντολῶν αὐτοῦ τοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτάς
19 The Lord has set up his throne in the heavens, and he rules over all.
κύριος ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ ἡτοίμασεν τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ βασιλεία αὐτοῦ πάντων δεσπόζει
20 Praise the Lord, you angels, you powerful ones who do what he says, listening to what he tells you!
εὐλογεῖτε τὸν κύριον πάντες οἱ ἄγγελοι αὐτοῦ δυνατοὶ ἰσχύι ποιοῦντες τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ τοῦ ἀκοῦσαι τῆς φωνῆς τῶν λόγων αὐτοῦ
21 Praise the Lord, you heavenly armies who serve him and carry out his will!
εὐλογεῖτε τὸν κύριον πᾶσαι αἱ δυνάμεις αὐτοῦ λειτουργοὶ αὐτοῦ ποιοῦντες τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ
22 Praise the Lord, everything in his creation, everyone under his rule, and let every part of me praise the Lord!
εὐλογεῖτε τὸν κύριον πάντα τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ τῆς δεσποτείας αὐτοῦ εὐλόγει ἡ ψυχή μου τὸν κύριον
