Psalms 103

1 A Psalme of David. My soule, prayse thou the Lord, and all that is within me, prayse his holy Name.

Of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul; all that is within me, bless His holy name.

2 My soule, prayse thou the Lord, and forget not all his benefites.

Bless the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget all His kind deeds—

3 Which forgiueth all thine iniquitie, and healeth all thine infirmities.

He who forgives all your iniquities and heals all your diseases,

4 Which redeemeth thy life from the graue, and crowneth thee with mercy and compassions.

who redeems your life from the Pit and crowns you with loving devotion and compassion,

5 Which satisfieth thy mouth with good things: and thy youth is renued like the eagles.

who satisfies you with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

6 The Lord executeth righteousnes and iudgement to all that are oppressed.

The LORD executes righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.

7 He made his wayes knowen vnto Moses, and his workes vnto the children of Israel.

He made known His ways to Moses, His deeds to the people of Israel.

8 The Lord is full of compassion and mercie, slowe to anger and of great kindnesse.

The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion.

9 He will not alway chide, neither keepe his anger for euer.

He will not always accuse us, nor harbor His anger forever.

10 He hath not dealt with vs after our sinnes, nor rewarded vs according to our iniquities.

He has not dealt with us according to our sins or repaid us according to our iniquities.

11 For as high as the heauen is aboue ye earth, so great is his mercie toward them that feare him.

For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His loving devotion for those who fear Him.

12 As farre as the East is from the West: so farre hath he remooued our sinnes from vs.

As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.

13 As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that feare him.

As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.

14 For he knoweth whereof we be made: he remembreth that we are but dust.

For He knows our frame; He is mindful that we are dust.

15 The dayes of man are as grasse: as a flowre of the fielde, so florisheth he.

As for man, his days are like grass— he blooms like a flower of the field;

16 For the winde goeth ouer it, and it is gone, and the place thereof shall knowe it no more.

when the wind passes over, it vanishes, and its place remembers it no more.

17 But the louing kindnesse of the Lord endureth for euer and euer vpon them that feare him, and his righteousnes vpon childrens children,

But from everlasting to everlasting the loving devotion of the LORD extends to those who fear Him, and His righteousness to their children’s children—

18 Vnto them that keepe his couenant, and thinke vpon his commandements to doe them.

to those who keep His covenant and remember to obey His precepts.

19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in heauen, and his Kingdome ruleth ouer all.

The LORD has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all.

20 Prayse the Lord, ye his Angels, that excell in strength, that doe his commandement in obeying the voyce of his worde.

Bless the LORD, all His angels mighty in strength who carry out His word, who hearken to the voice of His command.

21 Prayse the Lord, all ye his hostes, ye his seruants that doe his pleasure.

Bless the LORD, all His hosts, you servants who do His will.

22 Prayse the Lord, all ye his workes, in all places of his dominion: my soule, prayse thou the Lord.

Bless the LORD, all His works in all places of His dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul!
