< Psalms 103 >
1 A Psalme of David. My soule, prayse thou the Lord, and all that is within me, prayse his holy Name.
For David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul: and let 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 never forget all he hath done for thee.
3 Which forgiueth all thine iniquitie, and healeth all thine infirmities.
Who forgiveth all thy iniquities: who healeth all thy diseases.
4 Which redeemeth thy life from the graue, and crowneth thee with mercy and compassions.
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction: who crowneth thee with mercy and compassion.
5 Which satisfieth thy mouth with good things: and thy youth is renued like the eagles.
Who satisfieth thy desire with good things: thy youth shall be renewed like the eagle’s.
6 The Lord executeth righteousnes and iudgement to all that are oppressed.
The Lord doth mercies, and judgment for all that suffer wrong.
7 He made his wayes knowen vnto Moses, and his workes vnto the children of Israel.
He hath made his ways known to Moses: his wills to the children of Israel.
8 The Lord is full of compassion and mercie, slowe to anger and of great kindnesse.
The ford is compassionate and merciful: longsuffering and plenteous in mercy.
9 He will not alway chide, neither keepe his anger for euer.
He will not always be angry: nor will he threaten for ever.
10 He hath not dealt with vs after our sinnes, nor rewarded vs according to our iniquities.
He hath not dealt with us according to our sins: nor rewarded 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 according to the height of the heaven above the earth: he hath strengthened his mercy towards them that 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 hath he removed our iniquities from us.
13 As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that feare him.
As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that fear him:
14 For he knoweth whereof we be made: he remembreth that we are but dust.
For he knoweth our frame. He remembereth that we are dust:
15 The dayes of man are as grasse: as a flowre of the fielde, so florisheth he.
Man’s days are as grass, as the flower of the field so shall he flourish.
16 For the winde goeth ouer it, and it is gone, and the place thereof shall knowe it no more.
For the spirit shall pass in him, and he shall not be: and he shall know his place 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 the mercy of the Lord is from eternity and unto eternity upon them that fear him: And his justice unto children’s children,
18 Vnto them that keepe his couenant, and thinke vpon his commandements to doe them.
To such as keep his covenant, And are mindful of his commandments to do them.
19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in heauen, and his Kingdome ruleth ouer all.
The Lord hath prepared his throne in heaven: and his kingdom shall rule 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 ye his angels: you that are mighty in strength, and execute his word, hearkening to the voice of his orders.
21 Prayse the Lord, all ye his hostes, ye his seruants that doe his pleasure.
Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts: you ministers of his that 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 every place of his dominion, O my soul, bless thou the Lord.
