Psalms 103
1 A psalm of David. Let every part of me praise the Lord; let my whole being praise his holy character.
| לדוד ברכי נפשי את-יהוה וכל-קרבי את-שם קדשו |
2 Let every part of me praise the Lord; don't let me forget the wonderful things he's done for me.
| ברכי נפשי את-יהוה ואל-תשכחי כל-גמוליו |
3 He forgives my sins, and he heals all my diseases.
| הסלח לכל-עונכי הרפא לכל-תחלואיכי |
4 He saves me from death; he honors me with trustworthy love and mercy.
| הגואל משחת חייכי המעטרכי חסד ורחמים |
5 He fills my life with all that's good; he makes me young again, strong as an eagle.
| המשביע בטוב עדיך תתחדש כנשר נעוריכי |
6 The Lord does what is right, and vindicates those who are exploited.
| עשה צדקות יהוה ומשפטים לכל-עשוקים |
7 He explained his ways to Moses: he told the people of Israel what he was going to do.
| יודיע דרכיו למשה לבני ישראל עלילותיו |
8 The Lord is kind and gracious, not quick-tempered, and full of trustworthy love.
| רחום וחנון יהוה ארך אפים ורב-חסד |
9 He doesn't keep on accusing us; he doesn't stay angry with us forever.
| לא-לנצח יריב ולא לעולם יטור |
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.
| לא כחטאינו עשה לנו ולא כעונתינו גמל עלינו |
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth is the extent of his trustworthy love to those who honor him.
| כי כגבה שמים על-הארץ-- גבר חסדו על-יראיו |
12 As far as the east is from the west is how far the Lord has taken our sins away from us.
| כרחק מזרח ממערב-- הרחיק ממנו את-פשעינו |
13 Like a loving father, the Lord is kind and compassionate to those who follow him.
| כרחם אב על-בנים-- רחם יהוה על-יראיו |
14 For he knows how we are made; he remembers we are only dust.
| כי-הוא ידע יצרנו זכור כי-עפר אנחנו |
15 Human lifetimes are like grass: we blossom like flowers in a field,
| אנוש כחציר ימיו כציץ השדה כן יציץ |
16 but then the wind blows and we are gone, disappearing without a trace.
| כי רוח עברה-בו ואיננו ולא-יכירנו עוד מקומו |
17 But the Lord's trustworthy love lasts for all eternity to those who accept him; his goodness to all generations,
| וחסד יהוה מעולם ועד-עולם-- על-יראיו וצדקתו לבני בנים |
18 to those who keep his agreement and who remember to follow his commandments.
| לשמרי בריתו ולזכרי פקדיו לעשותם |
19 The Lord has set up his throne in the heavens, and he rules over all.
| יהוה--בשמים הכין כסאו ומלכותו בכל משלה |
20 Praise the Lord, you angels, you powerful ones who do what he says, listening to what he tells you!
| ברכו יהוה מלאכיו גברי כח עשי דברו לשמע בקול דברו |
21 Praise the Lord, you heavenly armies who serve him and carry out his will!
| ברכו יהוה כל-צבאיו-- משרתיו עשי רצונו |
22 Praise the Lord, everything in his creation, everyone under his rule, and let every part of me praise the Lord!
| ברכו יהוה כל-מעשיו-- בכל-מקמות ממשלתו ברכי נפשי את-יהוה |
