< Psalms 103 >
1 A Psalme of David. My soule, prayse thou the Lord, and all that is within me, prayse his holy Name.
[A Psalm] of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and 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 forget not all his benefits:
3 Which forgiueth all thine iniquitie, and healeth all thine infirmities.
Who forgiveth all thine 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 lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5 Which satisfieth thy mouth with good things: and thy youth is renued like the eagles.
Who satisfieth thy mouth with good [things; so that] thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 The Lord executeth righteousnes and iudgement to all that are oppressed.
The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
7 He made his wayes knowen vnto Moses, and his workes vnto the children of Israel.
He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
8 The Lord is full of compassion and mercie, slowe to anger and of great kindnesse.
The LORD [is] merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
9 He will not alway chide, neither keepe his anger for euer.
He will not always chide: neither will he keep [his anger] 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 after 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 as the heaven is high above the earth, [so] great is his mercy toward 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 transgressions from us.
13 As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that feare him.
Like as a father pitieth [his] children, [so] the LORD pitieth 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.
[As for] man, his days [are] as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
16 For the winde goeth ouer it, and it is gone, and the place thereof shall knowe it no more.
For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know 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 the mercy of the LORD [is] from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness 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 to those that remember 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 the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth 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, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21 Prayse the Lord, all ye his hostes, ye his seruants that doe his pleasure.
Bless ye the LORD, all [ye] his hosts; [ye] ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
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.
